We're running on
JBoss 4.2.3, (yeah, really), and I found that some of the library jars in a pristine JBoss 4.2.3 download have been replaced with "native" versions. For example, in the server/default/lib, we have:
jbossws-native-jaxrpc.jar
jbossws-native-jaxws-ext.jar
jbossws-native-jaxws.jar
jbossws-native-saaj.jar
They all seem to be related to Web Services. I'm trying to track down who made these changes and why. I've also tried Googling to see what the advantages of "native" libraries are, but I haven't found much information yet. Does anyone know why we might be using them?
