• XFire: The easy and simple way to develop Web services by Shahid Ahmed   - [Clicks: 81]
  Ask .Net developers how tough it is to develop Web services. Amused by your question, they'll probably reply that the steps require less than a minute of your time. Ask a Java developer, and, chances are, you'll get a completely different answer. Five years have passed since Web services was introduced in Java. Yet it is still considered one of the newer technologies, a major reason being Web services are difficult to implement in Java. Now with the release of XFire, a new-generation Web services engine, that situation could change dramatically. Using XFire, you can expose your Java class methods as Web services without writing additional code. In this article, you'll see how XFire makes Web services development easy and simple.

• Apache SOAP type mapping, Part 1: Exploring Apache's serialization APIs by Gavin Bong   - [Clicks: 16]
  SOAP defines a simple wire protocol for transferring application-level data. This protocol can easily carry arbitrary Java types as serialized XML, thanks to its rich and extensible type system. In this article, the first of a two-part series on the type system support found in the Apache SOAP toolkit, Gavin Bong will introduce you to the theoretical underpinnings of SOAP's type system. You'll also learn more about SOAP's programmatic support for serialization and deserialization and conclude with an exploration into the toolkit's internals. A better understanding of how these processes work will help you build your own distributed systems.

• Call SOAP Web services with Ajax, Part 2: Extend the Web services client by James Snell   - [Clicks: 51]
  Implement a Web Browser-based SOAP Web services client using the Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax) design pattern. In the Part 1 of this series, "Call SOAP Web Services with Ajax, Part 1," the author introduced a simple Web browser-based JavaScript library for invoking SOAP Web services. In the discussion that follows, the author expands on functions of that JavaScript library by implementing basic support for the Web Services Addressing Language and the Web Services Resource Framework specifications.

• Understanding Web Services specifications, Part 1: SOAP by Nicholas Chase   - [Clicks: 43]
  The current emphasis on Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) has put the spotlight on Web services, but it's easy to get lost in all the information being bandied about. This first in a series of tutorials on the major Web services specifications describes the basic concepts of Web services and SOAP. You'll learn how to build a SOAP server and client.
