Welcome to the second edition of Java Web Services: Up and Running. This edition, like the first, is for programmers interested in developing web services and clients against such services. This edition, again like the first, emphasizes code. My aim is to make web services and their clients come alive through focused but realistic programming examples in Java but, of course, in other languages as well: web services are designed to be language-neutral, a point best illustrated through the interaction of services and clients written in different languages. Indeed, the client of a well-designed web service can remain agnostic about the service’s implementation details, including the language in which the service is written. To ease the task of compiling and publishing services, the ZIP file with the code samples includes an Ant script that compiles, packages, and deploys web services. The major client examples include either Ant scripts for compiling and running the clients or executable JAR files with all of the dependencies included therein. The code examples are available at https://github.com/mkalin/jwsur2.
