The Developer's Guide to the SunTM Open Net Environment (Sun ONE),
"Building Web Services with the JavaTM Platform and XML," by James
Kao covers implementing a web services architecture using JavaTM
technology and XML and how XML web services architecture fit with
JavaTM 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EETM).
Developlers can use the J2EE platform to build web services. "Without radical
reengineering, and without rebuilding a proven J2EE system, developers
that follow the Sun ONE architecture guidelines can construct complex and
powerful web services applications," according to Kao.
The white paper provides an overview of web services and the portable Java
technology and XML technology approach for implementing a web services
architecture. The advantages of a J2EE technology-based web services
system is the ability to use the existing J2EE infrastructure for 70 to
90 percent of a web services system's functionality.
Chapter topics include:
- Client tier connectivity (business partner, thin, and thick)
- Implementing web services (data translation, shared context, business layer)
- Performing back-end integration (connectivity for databases, legacy systems,
and business partners)
There are additional technical details, figures, and code available in
the white paper.
