March 2003

Chapter 7, JAX-RCP and JAXM | Chapter 8, J2EE and Web Sevices

The JDC is pleased to present two chapters from Java Web Services by David Chappell and Tyler Jewell, published by O'Reilly & Associates, Inc..

About the Book

Java Web Services shows you how to use Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) to perform remote method calls and message passing; how to use Web Services Definition Language (WSDL) to describe the interface to a web service or understand the interface of someone else's service; and how to use Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) to advertise (publish) and look up services in each local or global registry. The book also discusses security issues, interoperability issues, integration with other Java enterprise technologies like Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB); the work being done on the Java API for XML Messaging (JAXM) and Java API for XML-based RPC (JAX-RPC) packages, and integration with Microsoft's .NET services.

About the Chapters

Chapter 7, "JAX-RCP and JAXM," thoroughly explains how the Java API for XML Messaging (JAXM) and the Java API for XML-based RPC (JAX-RPC) fit into a web services architecture. Rich in code examples, this chapter shows readers how to program with these APIs and more.

Chapter 8, "J2EE and Web Sevices," discusses different approaches of integrating J2EE and web services such as how a web service maps into an Enterprise JavaBean, or J2EE Connector Architecture (CA) adapter. The chapter also looks at some existing standards initiatives, and speculates on what might happen over the next few years.
