The Java Web Services Tutorial

 

The Java Web Services Tutorial is a comprehensive, example-driven, "roll up your sleeves and dive in" guide to building Web services applications with Java technology. This edition provides a head start on using the Java Web Services Developer Pack (WSDP) from Sun Microsystems. This complete, ready-to-use package includes a variety of technologies and tools required to build and deploy comprehensive Web services applications today.

Web services offer powerful new ways for enterprises to effectively communicate with each other using diverse computing hardware. This paradigm takes the Java platform's "Write Once, Run Anywhere" capabilities to a new level by providing a completely portable data model. By supporting the latest standards for XML-based Web services, the Java APIs for XML make it easy to build Web services with minimal hand tweaking of data. This tutorial explains these APIs in detail and provides practical examples to reinforce your understanding of key concepts.

The accompanying CD-ROM includes:

  • Java API for XML Messaging (JAXM) 1.0 EA 1
  • Java API for XML Processing (AXP) 1.2 EA 1 (with XML Schema support)
  • Java API for XML Registries (JAXR) 1.0 EA 1
  • Java API for XML-based RPC (JAX-RPC) 1.0 EA 1
  • JavaServer Pages Standard Tag Library (JSTL) 1.0 EA 3
  • Ant Build Tool 1.4.1
  • Java WSDP Registry Server 1.0 EA 1
  • Tomcat Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages container 4.1-dev
This package also includes instructions for deploying Web services applications on the Java 2 SDK, Enterprise Edition. The J2EE SDK is available separately from http://java.sun.com/j2ee or in the companion volume The J2EE Tutorial (Addison-Wesley, 2002).
