Programming Web Services with Java Ajamu A. Wesley 2002 | 325 pages ISBN: |
DESCRIPTION
Web services are a collection of new standards for loosely bound, web-based applications. They are powerful because they can be applied to a myriad of programming models and component architectures, including DCOM/COM+, Corba, J2EE, C++, and Java applications.
Of course, it is one thing to understand a standard and quite another to apply it. Programming Web Services with Java teaches the reader how to confidently bridge that gap. The book uses specific examples to reinforce the main concepts, for example, how a web service user interface, defined with the Web Service eXperience Language (WSXL), can leverage SOAP. Or, how WSDL-described services can be published and discovered to and from a UDDI registry.
Programming Web Services with Java is a practical and comprehensive coverage of web services for software developers and IT architects. It introduces useful development methods via a gradually more complex set of examples. It details techniques for enabling services, protocols and tools such as XML, SOAP, Apache eXtensible Interaction System (AXIS), Java API for XML Processing (JAXP), Web Services Description Language (WSDL), Universal Description Discovery & Integration (UDDI), Web Services Inspection Language (WSIL ), and Web Services Flow Language (WSFL). Each of these technologies, together with how they relate to one another, is explained in depth.
