HI Vijay,

Thanks for providing this info.

If you look at the page https://glassfish.dev.java.net/public/ServerModules.html
it lists the logical modules in GlassFish and Web Services is one.

Is this info on our website? If not then please either add it to the
appropriate page or create a page with this info as I think it is
helpful.

That or Mark can start the page taking what was on this thread and then you can
add to it. I have a template for a starting place.

What do you guys think?
