Course Abstract
The Complete Java Web Services class teaches students how to build Web Services and Web Service clients using Java Technologies. The class includes a high-speed introduction to XML syntax, namespaces, XML Schema, SOAP, and WSDL before exploring Web service client or server-side development in Java APIs and tools. The course focuses on implementation using Apache Axis, the most popular Java JAX-RPC implementation.
Learning Objectives
- Understand how Web services relate to Service Oriented Architecture
- Become familiar with the pillar Web service specifications for XML, XML Schema, SOAP, WSDL and UDDI
- Pick up design patterns and best practices for Web service interface documents
- Experience the development of Java Web services using Axis
- See how WSDL and Schema elements map to Java objects
- Recognize and understand the difference between RPC and Document styled services
- Learn how to make and test Web services that are highly interoperable.
