Course Length:

5 Days

Course Description:

This course prepares Java programmers to develop Web services and clients using the BEA WebLogic Platform(TM), in accordance with prevailing standards such as SOAP, WSDL, and JAX-RPC. Students get an overview of the interoperable and Java-specific Web services architectures and then learn the standard (J2EE 1.4) APIs for SOAP messaging and WSDL-driven, component-based service development.

Who Should Attend:

Java developers interested in building Web services using BEA WebLogic should attend this course.

Benefits of Attendance:

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

• Describe the interoperable Web services architecture (SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI).
• Describe the Java Web services architecture (JAXP, SAAJ, JAXM, JAX-RPC, JAXR).
• Read and write SOAP messages.
• Use SAAJ to manage SOAP message content as Java objects.
• Write WSDL descriptors: types, messages, interfaces and services.
• Map types between WSDL/XML Schema and Java using JAX-RPC.
• Build Web services from WSDL descriptors or based on existing Servlet, JSP, or EJB applications.
• Implement a JAX-RPC message handler chain to adapt an existing Web service.
• Create, send, receive, and read SOAP attachments using SAAJ.
• Build asynchronous Web services using JMS and JAX-RPC.
• Secure an existing Web service by requiring authentication and authorization at the service URI.
• Implement message security using JAX-RPC message handlers.

Prerequisites:

Experience in Java Programming, including object-oriented Java and the Java streams model, is essential. Knowledge of XML and XML Schema will be helpful, but is not required.
