TT7380: Advanced Web Services for JEE Developers

In this lab-intensive course, you will cover the entire spectrum of technologies that enable Web Services in Java and JEE. You will focus on what separates an ad hoc set of web services (not Service-Oriented Analysis [SOA]) from a managed, vibrant, reusable catalog of enterprise services (definitely SOA).

This course provides an overview of the entire spectrum, from the promise of cloud computing to the grit of XML content. You will gain practical, hands-on experience with implementations of the Java XML and Web Service APIs, including JAXP, JAXB, JAX-WS 2.0, WSEE, and XWSS. In terms of Java, you will focus on using the JAX-WS 2.0 and JAXB APIs and implementations as the basis for generating and deploying Web Services and service clients.
