JSR-109 facilitates the building of interoperable Web services in the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) environment. It standardizes the deployment of Web services in a J2EE container.

Prior to JSR-109, the procedure for deploying a Web service was highly coupled to the destination runtime. Deploying a Web service to Apache Axis is quite different from deploying to Apache SOAP. The motivation for JSR-109 is to promote the building of interoperable and portable Web services in the J2EE environment. JSR-109 leverages existing J2EE technology and provides industrial standards for Web services deployment. It clearly defines requirements that a Web service for J2EE product provider must support. It allows a J2EE Web service to be configurable via XML-based deployment descriptors and hides the complexity of the system from Web service developers, assemblers and deployers. Knowing how JSR-109 works allows you to configure a J2EE Web service without having to explore and learn the implementation details of the underlying system. Finally, as JSR-109 is adopted by Web server providers, the process of migration and deployment should become a routine procedure.

In general, a developer is responsible for providing the following:

In sum, JSR-109 provides a universal and simple way to enable stateless EJB and SERVLET to Web Service. UDTT component complies with JSR-109 standard and can be easily wrapped upon your request.
