There's a list in the JWSDP Release Notes (*not* the JAX-RPC RI Release
Notes), which includes the following: jaxrpc-api.jar, jaxrpc-ri.jar,
saaj-api.jar, saaj-ri.jar, activation.jar, commons-logging.jar, dom4j.jar,
mail.jar, jaxp-api.jar, dom.jar, sax.jar, xalan.jar, xercesImpl.jar,
xsltc.jar. The total size is something like 5.8 MB.
My understanding is that one is required by the RI licence agreement to
distribute all of the above, including on clients.
Obviously, this is a significant drawback, and I suspect it will discourage
a lot of people from using JAX-RPC on clients (especially applets/Web Start)
unless this changes.

Subject: List of needed Jars on the client side?
