Course overview

The Designing Java Web Services course provides business component designers with the information they need to understand and appreciate web services as a realization of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). This course elaborates on the use of the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) technology design patterns in designing web services and discusses various web services features, such as Exception Handling and Security provided by the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 5 (Java EE 5). The students implement the course lab exercises using the NetBeans Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and deploy the web services and applications on the Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 9.0.

Goal

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

• Describe Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)
• Describe web services as a realization of SOA
• Describe Java technologies for web services development
• Implement a servlet endpoint as a web service using Java API for XML Web Services
• Implement an Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) endpoint as a web service using JAX-WS
• Describe and implement various web services-based design and deployment patterns
• Describe and apply various best practices for designing web services
• Handle exceptions in web services using SOAPFaultException
• Implement user-defined exceptions in web services
• Identify web services security requirements and solutions
• Secure a web service using basic authentication
• Implement message-layer security in web services

Target group

Students who can benefit from this course are business component designers who are interested in leveraging the various web services technologies available in the Java EE 5 platform.
