Integrating XML, SOA and JEE Web Services (for Developers New to XML) Training

Course Duration:

5 Days

Course Description:

Geared for experienced Java developers new to XML, Integrating XML, SOA and Web Services is a five day, lab-intensive course that introduces Java developers to XML and then to Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) and Web Services. SOA and Web Services represent a groundbreaking evolution in distributed computing. The concepts are not altogether new, but the application of them, and the unanimous acceptance of core standards like HTTP, XML, SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI, has paved the way for XML Web Services and service-oriented architecture.

Course Objectives:

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

• Understand and work with XML applications and components
• Understand and apply the basic concepts of SOA to the identification and design of web services
• Understand and intelligently discuss Web Services and the core technologies involved
• Develop and deploy real-world JEE Web Services
• Expose existing Java components as Web Services
• Write Java components that access remote Web Services hosted by a third party
• Read and understand a WSDL document
• Parse, process, and respond to a SOAP message
• Understand the concepts behind REST and implement a REST-based web service
• Understand and work with the standards and technologies encompassed by WS-Security

Course Audience:

This is an intermediate level web services programming course, designed for Java developers and architects new to XML, who need to identify, design, and implement XML web services and. We will explore and apply the terminology, the specification, the processes and technologies specific to both XML and web services.
