From the Back Cover

The Java™ Web Services Tutorial is a comprehensive, example-driven, "roll up your sleeves and dive in" guide to building Web services applications with Java™ 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 Anywhere™" 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 Pages™ 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 ServerHere we cover all the things you need to know to make the best use of The Java™ Web Services Tutorial.Who Should Use This TutorialThis tutorial is intended for programmers interested in developing and deploying Web services and Web applications on the Java WSDP.About the ExamplesThis tutorial includes many complete, working examples.Running the ExamplesThis section tells you everything you need to know to obtain, build, deploy, and run the examples.Required SoftwareIf you are viewing this online, you need to download The Java™ Web Services Tutorial from:java.sun/webservices/downloads/webservicestutorial.htmlOnce you have installed the tutorial bundle, the example source code is in the /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:java.sun/webservices/downloads/webservicespack.htmlthe J2SE 1.3.1 SDK fromjava.sun/j2se/1.3/or the J2SE 1.4 SDK fromjava.sun/j2se/1.4/Building the ExamplesMost 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 ExamplesMost 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 /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 TomcatYou run Tomcat by executing the startup script in a terminal window.Reloading the ExamplesYou reload an application with the command:localhost:8080/manager/reload?path=/targetThis 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 /conf/tomcat-users.xml, which can be edited with any text editor. The Tomcat reference documentation distributed with the Java WSDP contains information about the manager application. 0201768119P02282002
