Features: This book provides an approach for experienced Java developers to enter the world of Web services. It will help you understand what is happening, the meanings of various technologies, and their relationships. Many Java-based methods for Web services are currently emerging. This book extensively explores some of these technologies and demonstrates how to apply them in practical work. You will learn what is real and what is not, what these technologies support and what they do not. The book shows you how to use SOAP for remote procedure calls and message exchange; how to use WSDL to describe Web service interfaces or understand other service interfaces; how to use UDDI to publish and find services in each local or global registry. The book also discusses security and interoperability issues, integration with other enterprise technologies such as EJB and JMS, the work done in the JAXM and JAX-RPC packages, and interoperability with Microsoft's .NET services. The future of Web services is still taking shape; there are many platforms and APIs to consider, and many conflicting claims. The alignment between the fundamental principles of Java and Web services means that Java will become the primary language for Web service development. If you are a Java developer who wants to stay at the forefront of Web services, or if you simply want to learn what Web services offer, you will find this book indispensable.
