From Standards to Implementation

Understanding the fundamental web service standards (XML, SOAP, and WSDL) is essential to becoming a competent web services developer. However, you’ll also need to understand how to implement web services in software. There are numerous web service platforms that allow you to build production systems based on the web service standards, including .NET, Perl, Apache Axis, and J2EE. The focus of this book is obviously the J2EE platform, and specifically support for web services in EJB. The next chapter explains how JAX-RPC is used to support web services in Enterprise JavaBeans.
