*** Spring Web Services (Spring-WS) is focused on creating document-driven Web services. **Spring Web Services aims to facilitate [[Contract-First Development Style | contract-first]] SOAP service development**, allowing for the creation of flexible web services using one of the many ways to manipulate XML payloads. The product is based on Spring itself, which means you can use the Spring concepts such as dependency injection as an integral part of your Web service. *** **References**: - [Spring Web Services](https://spring.io/projects/spring-ws)
