Summary

In this chapter, you used the AXIS toolkit and the Apache Software Foundation's Tomcat Web server to build and deploy a restaurant delivery service. Although this example is rather contrived, the fundamental principles behind it are not. Whether it is the ByteGourmet Server talking to the Thai Palace restaurant, or two Fortune 500 companies exchanging data in a B2B marketplace, the same principles apply. The rest of this book delves into the details of using Java to build Web services, including the basic technologies: SOAP, UDDI, WSDL, and the JAX pack.
