Building Web Services with the Java Technology Platform and XML
White Paper
September 10, 2001,
Volume 43, Issue 2

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.
