Java Web Services

This course provides students with the knowledge and skills needed to build Web services using the Java Web Services Developer Pack technologies, including the Java API for XML-based RPC (JAX-RPC), the Java API for XML Messaging (JAXM), the Java API for XML Registries (JAXR), and Web Services technologies, including the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), Web Services Description Language (WSDL), Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) and ebXML. Real-world lab exercises provide students with experience constructing and deploying small- to medium-scale Web services.
