Course Description

This 3-day Java Web Services using JAX-WS training course will teach students how to enable Web-based access to distributed software and business services. JAX-WS Web Services bring a standard, open service architecture to component development that allows web services to be accessed over the Web with standard protocols such as HTTP and standard XML formats for messages and service descriptions. This course will give students a thorough understanding of the current Web services architecture, and the technologies that support Web services, including the Java APIs such as JAX-WS and JSR-181.

Topics include: SOAP, WSDL, JAX-WS, SAAJ, JAXB, XML, UDDI, MTOM, EJB based Web Services and the WS-* Standards. We will look at the current state of the art of Web services, what works and what doesn’t work, and also at newer standards, and how they fit into the Web services picture. This course is hands on, and students will actually build and deploy a Web service during the course.

Pre-requisites

Programming experience in Java and a good working knowledge of XML are required.

Who is this course for?

For software developers who need a more thorough understanding of web services.

Further Training

After some further on-the-job programming experience with JAX-WS and Java Web SErvices, we recommend students attend our
XML Programming Advanced training course to gain higher-level skills in the usage of XML.
