Book Description

Following in the successful tradition of previous Java Series Tutorials, The Javaâ„¢TM Web Services Tutorial, Early Access Edition, offers an essential, example-driven resource for every programmer interested in developing and deploying web services and web applications with the Java WSDP. The authors - senior documentation specialists at Sun - offer a concise, all-in-one guide covering the key technologies for building Web services using the Java 2 Platform. They provide practical techniques and examples for working with Javaâ„¢(tm) Servlets, JSPâ„¢TM, JSTL and the Java XML Pack to get programmers up to speed. This tutorial is packed with practical examples to reinforce key concepts. Both the tutorial and Sun Microsystems' Web Services Pack are included on the accompanying CD-ROM.



Book Info
A beginner's guide to developing web services and web applications using the Java web services developer pack. This complete, ready to use package includes a variety of technologies and tools required to build and deploy comprehensive Web services applications today. Softcover. CD-ROM included.

From the Back Cover

The Javaâ„¢ Web Services Tutorial is a comprehensive, example-driven, "roll up your sleeves and dive in" guide to building Web services applications with Javaâ„¢ technology. This edition provides a head start on using the Java Web Services Developer Pack (WSDP) from Sun Microsystems. This complete, ready-to-use package includes a variety of technologies and tools required to build and deploy comprehensive Web services applications today.

Web services offer powerful new ways for enterprises to effectively communicate with each other using diverse computing hardware. This paradigm takes the Java platform's "Write Once, Run Anywhereâ„¢" capabilities to a new level by providing a completely portable data model. By supporting the latest standards for XML-based Web services, the Java APIs for XML make it easy to build Web services with minimal hand tweaking of data. This tutorial explains these APIs in detail and provides practical examples to reinforce your understanding of key concepts.

The accompanying CD-ROM includes:

  • Java API for XML Messaging (JAXM) 1.0 EA 1
  • Java API for XML Processing (JAXP) 1.2 EA 1 (with XML Schema support)
  • Java API for XML Registries (JAXR) 1.0 EA 1
  • Java API for XML-based RPC (JAX-RPC) 1.0 EA 1
  • JavaServer Pagesâ„¢ Standard Tag Library (JSTL) 1.0 EA 3
  • Ant Build Tool 1.4.1
  • Java WSDP Registry Server 1.0 EA 1
  • Tomcat Java Servlet and JavaServer Pages container 4.1-dev

    This package also includes instructions for deploying Web services applications on the Java 2 SDK, Enterprise Edition.

    The Java™ Web Services Tutorial is a beginner's guide to developing Web services and Web applications using the Java Web Services Developer Pack (Java WSDP). The Java WSDP is an all-in-one download containing key technologies to simplify building of Web services using the Java 2 Platform. The technologies available on the Java WSDP are:

    • Java Servlets
    • JavaServer Pages (JSP)
    • JSP Standard Tag Library (JSTL)
    • Java XML Pack, which includes:
      • Java API for XML Messaging (JAXM)
      • Java API for XML Processing (JAXP)
      • Java API for XML Registries (JAXR)
      • Java API for XML-based RPC (JAX-RPC)

    To provide a development and deployment environment, the Java WSDP includes the:

    • Tomcat servlet and JSP container
    • Ant build tool
    • Java WSDP Registry Server

    Here we cover all the things you need to know to make the best use of The Java™ Web Services Tutorial.

    Who Should Use This Tutorial

    This tutorial is intended for programmers interested in developing and deploying Web services and Web applications on the Java WSDP.

    About the Examples

    This tutorial includes many complete, working examples.

    Prerequisites for the Examples

    To understand the examples you will need a good knowledge of the Java programming language, SQL, and relational database concepts. The following topics in the Java Tutorial are particularly relevant:

    Running the Examples

    This section tells you everything you need to know to obtain, build, deploy, and run the examples.

    Required Software

    If you are viewing this online, you need to download The Java Web™ Services Tutorial from:

    http://java.sun.com/webservices/downloads/webservicestutorial.html

    Once you have installed the tutorial bundle, the example source code is in the <JWSDP_HOME>/docs/tutorial/examples directory, with subdirectories for each of the technologies included in the pack.

    This tutorial documents the Java WSDP EA1. To build, deploy, and run the examples you need a copy of the Java WSDP and the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE™) SDK 1.3.1 or 1.4. You can download the Java WSDP from:

    http://java.sun.com/webservices/downloads/webservicespack.html

    the J2SE 1.3.1 SDK from:

    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/

    or the J2SE 1.4 SDK from:

    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/
    Building the Examples

    Most of the examples are distributed with a configuration file for version 1.4.1 of ant, a portable build tool contained in the Java WSDP. Directions for building the examples are provided in each chapter.

    Deploying the Examples

    Most of the Java WSDP examples run on Tomcat. Before you can run an example you must first deploy it on Tomcat. To deploy an application execute ant deploy. The deploy task usually copies some files into the <JWSDP_HOME>/webapps directory. Some things you need to keep in mind:

    • For this release of the Java WSDP you must be running Tomcat on the same machine that you are developing on.
    • The first time an application is deployed you must start or restart Tomcat (see next section). Thereafter, when you modify an application, you can build, deploy, and then reload the example, as described in the next section.
    Running Tomcat

    You run Tomcat by executing the startup script in a terminal window.

    Reloading the Examples

    You reload an application with the command:

    This command invokes the manager Web application. Before you can use this application you must add your user name and password combination and associate the role name manager with it to <JWSDP_HOME>/conf/tomcat-users.xml, which can be edited with any text editor. This file contains an element <user> for each individual user, which might look something like this:

    <user name="adeveloper" password="secret" roles="manager" />

    The Tomcat reference documentation distributed with the Java WSDP contains information about the manager application.

    Related Information

    For further information on the technologies discussed in this tutorial see the reference documentation contained in the Java WSDP (<JWSDP_HOME>/docs/index.html). References to individual technology homes listed in some chapters map as follows:

    • JAXM-HOME to JWSDP_HOME/docs/jaxm/index.html
    • JAXP-HOME to JWSDP_HOME/docs/jaxp/index.html
    • JAXR-HOME to JWSDP_HOME/docs/jaxr/index.html
