Java Web Services Course Overview

The Java Web Services course is a comprehensive program designed to equip learners with the skills needed to build and integrate robust Web services using Java. Starting with the fundamentals of Web services, learners will gain a foundational understanding of what a Web service is, the communication protocols (SOAP over HTTP), and the differences between RPC and document formatting, as well as SOAP serialization.

As the course progresses, participants will delve into the practical aspects of creating and consuming Web services in Java, leveraging the Java Web Services Stack (Metro), and exploring WSDL for service descriptions. They will also learn how to handle SOAP payloads using JAXB for marshalling and unmarshalling data, and understand various Web service operations, including asynchronous methods and one-way messaging.

Advanced modules cover RESTful Web services, Web Service Security, both transport-level and message-level, and the use of enterprise patterns like Enterprise Service Buses (ESB) and orchestration with BPEL. This course prepares learners to design, secure, and optimize Web services, and integrate them into Java Enterprise applications, making it an invaluable resource for professionals seeking to enhance their expertise in the field of Java Web services.
