Upgrading SOAP web services
If you are upgrading from an end-of-service release, you might need to take additional actions that are relevant to your current, end-of-service release, along with the actions summarized in the upgrade instructions in this information. For details, see Upgrading from end-of-service releases.
Upgrade actions
Table 1 lists the actions you must perform when upgrading to a higher CICS release, regardless of your current release and the target release. The sections that describe these actions in detail are tagged with All versions.
Action | Mandatory or optional? |
---|---|
Consider migrating JAX-WS applications from the Axis2 environment to a Liberty JVM server | Optional |
Consider migrating JAX-WS applications from the Axis2 environment to a Liberty JVM server
All versions
If you have JAX-WS applications that are hosted within the Axis2 environment, consider redeploying them as JAX-WS applications within a Liberty JVM server. JVM servers that are configured for Axis2 cannot be used for any other purpose, whereas Liberty JVM servers provide a more efficient use of resources because the same JVM can host several types of workload. JAX-WS is part of the Java™ EE 7 Full Platform capability that is supported by Liberty. For more information, see Java applications in a Liberty JVM server.
