Course Description

 
A comprehensive look at the state of the art in developing interoperable web services on the Java EE 6 platform. Students learn the key standards for both SOAP-based and RESTful services, and the Java architectures that have evolved to build interoperable services and clients. We begin with an introductory module that covers both SOAP-based and RESTful services, and therefore both JAX-WS and JAX-RS. We then discuss JAXB, as this highly useful XML API is integral to both. The remainder of the course is split between two larger modules, each of which falls on one side of the fence: either SOAP services with JAX-WS, or RESTful services with JAX-RS. We cover SOAP, WSDL, and both WSDL-driven and Java-driven development paths for JAX-WS, as well as client-side development. Then students work with the Jersey implementation of JAX-RS to create RESTful services, from simple single-value interactions to more sophisticated services that manage CRUD (create/retrieve/update/delete) operations on more complex data types, using JAXB to marshal and unmarshal data over the wire.
