whitepaper Web Services Interoperability Between Apache Axis2 and the WebSphere Web Services Feature Pack, Part 12008-03-01 IBM
  The WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1 Feature Pack for Web Services (hereafter called WSFP) includes a set of Java API for XML-based Web Services (JAX-WS) samples. These samples demonstrate the usage of simple message exchange patterns (MEPs), using both synchronous and asynchronous programming models, and support for SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2. The samples included with the WSFP can be attached to different Web services Quality of Service (QoS) protocols. A QoS is the non-functional value added to the underlying technology of Web services that provides improvements in security, reliability, availability or performance. Web services server vendors must comply with standard specifications of these QoS's to interoperate successfully with other vendor Web services implementations.

whitepaper Building Interactive Reports2008-03-01 Oracle
  Typically, Web applications designed for displaying and modifying data are not user-customizable. Application developers build Web pages to display data based on business requirements, and users who want the data displayed differently either export it and load it into a spreadsheet program or ask the developers to modify the report layout (which usually requires all other users to agree to the change). Oracle Application Express Version 3.1 breaks this mold with interactive reports functionality. End users can modify their own data layouts directly in the Web application to display secure, up-to-date data. Each user can rearrange a report's data and save multiple layouts for later reference, without impacting other users.
