Chapter 2. Standards and Technologies
This chapter describes current, universally accepted Web Service standards and the J2EE platform's support for these standards. The Web services computing paradigm enables applications and services running on different platforms to easily communicate and interoperate with each other. To be so widely accepted, the paradigm must give service implementors flexibility in their implementation approach. Just as important, each such implementation must be assured that it can work with another implementation. Proven technologies facilitate Web service development, and these sorts of accepted standards enable interoperability.
