This is stellar stuff guys - you're saving me a lot of headaches. Thanks. Regards, Jim.

Both support maven and are very complete in terms of how much of the web service set of standards they support. Metro implements JAXWS 2.1 and JAXB2.2, so if the marketing babble is to be trusted its 'meant' to be higher performing and more extensible, but I haven't tested that claim yet. In any event it has an impressive array of security features. It also ships with the standard glassfish installation, which means no server configuration is needed if you go that route, I installed it though with Tomcat, it was as easy as executing a script... not too hard at all. Depending how you wish to approach you applications, you can use annotations for the meta programming, and avoid a lot of the messy xml. I found it to be really clean and the closest to Microsofts .Net platform implementation which is IMHO a very good implementation of Web Services ...at least more impressive than anything I have seen in the Java community, but I feel the gap is closing slowly. To integrate with Tapestry I simply overrode Tapestry filter... I am not aware of any more elegant approach, although I made a few inquiries on this list in the past.

Good to know that there are positive experiences with CXF. It's probably the front-runner for me at the moment, but will keep an ear open for any other feedback. Looking at my original query I can see that it looks like I am focusing on generating WS clients - I should have said "providing interfaces for a system" rather than "interfacing with a system".
