Training Course Summary:

The Web Services for Java Technology Programmers course provides students with an overview of web services. The course lab exercises demonstrate web service technology with a suite of Remote Procedure Call (RPC)-style web services created using Java technology components and application programming interfaces (APIs), and accessed by web-based clients through a servlet endpoint. Students can apply the knowledge gained in this course to develop new RPC-style web services or expose existing application functionality as an RPC-style web service.

Students perform the course lab exercises using the Sun Java Studio Standard software. The Sun Java Studio software uses a bundled version of the Java Web Services Developer Pack (WSDP) tools and runtime environment to support web services development. Services and service clients created in this course are deployed and executed on the Sun Java System Application Server.

Please note: Sun has recently re-branded Sun ONE Studio 5, Standard Edition to be Sun Java Studio Standard. You may see reference to either name within the course description and course materials.

Pre-Requisites:

To succeed fully in this course, students should be able to:
Use Java technology syntax fluently
Code a Java technology class and methods
Understand the Java technology interface construct
Write a Java technology program
Students who have obtained their Sun Certified Programmers for Java Technology certification are considered to have met the prerequisites for the course.

Who Should Attend:

Students who can benefit from this course are Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE platform) programmers and Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE platform) software developers planning on implementing web services. Students are not expected to know web or J2EE component development, assembly, and deployment prior to attending this course.
