The Reference Implementation of JAX-WS is Metro.
The easiest way to start programming with JAX-WS is to follow the Java EE Tutorial.
What JAX-WS implementation you should use depends on your circumstances. If you use NetBeans with Glassfish, Metro comes bundled with both the IDE and the Java EE server. If you want to use special features of other implementations, you can easily exchange Metro for CXF, for example.
From the CXF site:
CXF implements the JAX-WS APIs (TCK compliant). CXF JAX-WS support includes some extensions to the standard that make it significantly easier to use, compared to the reference implementation: It will automatically generate code for request and response bean classes, and does not require a WSDL for simple cases.
If you need these extensions, use CXF.
