Description
JAX-WS defines a Plugability Layer that specifies how it will locate an implementation.
 
Method javax.xml.ws.spi.Provider#provider() responsible for locating implementation an algorithm, which includes also service-loader-like facility. Initially, there was a proprietary implementation. It has been migrated to use java.util.ServiceLoader, but it needs to be yet changed in javadoc to make it clear it uses standard service-loader facility. Also location of jaxws.properties needs to be changed to be non-normative - in current version it's stated to be in $java.home/lib/ but it would be typically $java.home/conf/
