A JWS file contains Java code. Parts include logic for the web service. Other parts handle protocols and lifecycle management. A JWS file uses annotations. These annotations enable web service features. The JWS extension indicates a web service to WebLogic Server.
There are 2 types of .jws files. One type defines web services. Another type stores settings for JDeveloper workspaces. JWS files follow the JSR-181 specification. The specification defines requirements for web services. WebLogic Workshop and JDeveloper use the JWS format.
To open JWS files install Oracle WebLogic Server. Associate the JWS format with WebLogic Server. The process for associating file types differs by platform. But the basic procedure is similar.
A file extension like .jws encodes information. The JWS format specifies encoding web services. File formats may be proprietary or free. Formats may also be unpublished or open.
JWS files use annotations to define web services. The files contain metadata, not code. The files are small. They deploy source code, not classes. The .jws extension indicates a web service. Windows can open JWS files with a text editor.
