Developing Java Web Services
Live Instructor-Led Classroom Training

XML-based Web Services allow applications to access functionality via the Internet and are at the forefront of the newest shift in distributed computing. Microsoft recently reengineered its platform to support enterprise applications and Web Services (Microsoft .NET). However, the Java platform is already engineered for distributed, cross-platform, highly scalable and maintainable enterprise systems. Sun Microsystems and the open source Java community have embraced Web Services technology and offer many techniques for adding a Web Services layer on top of existing applications, which enables implementation-independent, cross-application communication.

This 5-day hands-on class explores the various standards that compose the Web Services architecture, such as XML (eXtensible Markup Language), DOM (Document Object Model), SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol), UDDI (Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration) and many of the APIs that comprise Sun's new JAX (Java API for XML) Pack, including JAXP (JAX Parsing), JAXM (JAX Messaging), JAXR (JAX Registries), and JAX-RPC (JAX Remote Procedure Call). Students will explore how to build, consume, test, and advertise Web Services, as well as discussing various issues that affect them, such as performance and security. In addition, the class describes the various tools available to Java Web Services developers.

Who Should Attend

This workshop is designed for developers who are going to work with Web Services in the Java environment.

Prerequisites

The instructor will assume that students are well versed in the Java language and have extensive Java development experience. Knowledge of XML is not required. Experience with servlets and Java Server Pages (JSPs) is also not required, though it is helpful.
