Synopsis

This authoritative guide -- written by members of the Java BluePrints team at Sun Microsystems -- spells out the proven best practices for designing and developing enterprise-level Web services using J2EE 1.4. Web services are key for business-to-business interaction and enterprise application integration. This in-depth book provides all the information and advice that every developer needs to know in order to design and integrate effective web services with the new J2EE 1.4 platform. The Java BluePrints team has written extensively on J2EE enterprise applications, developed and documented design patterns, and has developed two sample applications to illustrate their guidelines and recommendations. All of their best information is shared through this supremely useful new book.

From the Back Cover

Written by Sun Microsystems' Java(TM) BluePrints team, Designing Web Services with the J2EE(TM) 1.4 Platform is the authoritative guide to the best practices for designing and integrating enterprise-level Web services using the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) 1.4. This book provides the guidelines, patterns, and real-world examples architects and developers need in order to shorten the learning curve and start building robust, scalable, and portable solutions.

The authors use the Java Adventure Builder application to bring the design process to life and help illustrate the use of Java APIs for XML Processing (JAXP), Java APIs for XML-Based RPC (JAX-RPC), and other Web service and Java-XML technologies.

Key topic coverage includes:

Web service requirements and design issues

Support for Web services provided by the J2EE 1.4 platform

Designing and implementing Web service end points

Writing efficient Web service client applications

Designing and developing XML-based applications

Integrating applications and data using Web services

The J2EE platform security model as it applies to Web services

A coherent programming model for designing and developing Web service endpoints and clients Designing Web Services with the J2EE(TM) 1.4 Platform provides the insight, advice, and detail that make it easier to create effective Web service applications using the J2EE 1.4 platform.
