About the Book
JAX: Java APIs for XML
Kick Start covers the JAX APIs - fundamental for development of Java-based
Web service applications as well as other e-Commerce applications requiring
the exchange and manipulation of data. The book includes an overview of
Web service fundamentals including SOAP, UDDI, and WSDL, all of which will
be built upon in later examples. The book then covers the current set of
JAX APIs for data processing, for messaging, for writing data to registries
and for calling remote applications.
Each API is covered from an architectural
and implementation perspective, using real-world examples and case studies
throughout to illustrate their usefulness. The author will demonstrate
both Web service and traditional JAX applications, giving a complete picture
of the uses of JAX. The final chapter looks ahead to new developments and
new APIs in progress at Sun.
