Web Services Library Upgrade
Windchill 13.1.2.0
Description
Starting with 13.1.2.0, the Web Services library has been upgraded from javax.* namespace to jakarta.* namespace. It is recommended to update all custom code to support the Jakarta Web Services library to avoid any customization failures that are related to the Web Services library. You are required to:
• Update Imports - Replace all the instances of javax.xml.ws.* with jakarta.xml.ws.*.
• Recompile Custom Code - Ensure that your customizations are recompiled against the updated Jakarta libraries.
• Validation - All the web service interactions (SOAP/REST) must be thoroughly validated to avoid any failure.
• Review API Changes - Check for any deprecated or modified APIs in Jakarta EE documentation.
