This article by Samisa Abeysinghe looks into the WS-Addressing specification. It explains why WS-Addressing is needed, and more importantly explains how WS-Addressing can be used in a real world scenario. This article also explains how you can use the WS-Addressing implementation of Apache Axis2/C Web services engine.

Unlike in the past, when the automatic generation of Web services was limited to a service and a single class, developers now have the option to generate a service or multiple services from the various Java classes in their existing projects. This article by Tyler Anderson, Part 1 of a two-part series, uses XML to define a Web service from existing Java classes.

The WS-Addressing specification has become an integral part of any WS
stack. Most Web services stacks support WS-Addressing by default, and some
have even integrated it into the core of their engines. Apache Axis2, a
pioneer in providing WS-Addressing specification support, has proven to be a
success with WS-Addressing through various interoperability sessions. This article by Eran Chinthaka explains how addressing processing is implemented within Axis2, and also
provides some insights into tweaking addressing at runtime.

AXIOM (AXis Object Model) is the StAX based XML object model used inside Apache Axis2. This article by Eran Chinthaka discusses various methods of creating and encapsulating different XML sources into an AXIOM object model.
