Course Summary

This course provides a detailed approach to developing interoperable web services on the Java EE platform. Students learn the key standards for SOAP-based services in Java. JAX-WS and JAXB are used to develop Web Services. Main topics include SOAP, WSDL, and both WSDL-driven and Java-driven development paths for JAX-WS, as well as client-side development. Complex data types, using JAXB to marshal and unmarshal data, are also included.
