Metro is a high-performance, extensible, easy-to-use web service stack. It is a one-stop shop for all your web service needs, from the simplest hello world web service to reliable, secured, and transacted web service that involves .NET services. The Metro web service stack is a part of the GlassFish community, but it can be also used outside GlassFish.

Metro consists of JAX-WS Reference Implementation project and Web Services Interoperability Technology project.

JAX-WS Reference Implementation (JAX-WS RI) provides core web servicing support and the base framework for extensions provided by the WSIT layer.
