Accessing and Interacting with Remote SOAP-enabled Services
Hits: 374
Description: With the introduction of Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) 1.4, Java and Web Services are fused together in a single platform. With Web Services functionality in J2EE and the Java Web Services Developer Pack (Java WSDP), developers can now take advantage of new features to build applications that feature Web Services messaging and interaction. The key to delivering this functionality is Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), which has become the de facto standard for this type of functionality. It is designed to provide developers with a standard for XML message formats so that they do not need to invent a custom XML message format for every service they want to make available.
