Patterns and Strategies for Building Document-Based Web Services: Part 1 in a Series

Overview The Java programming language provides developers with the ability to write portable code quickly and efficiently, and XML provides a mechanism to describe data in a portable format. Java and XML therefore form a natural combination and choice for developing web services. Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) is a standard Java platform for deploying enterprise applications and is specified as a set of required APIs, specifications and policies. The Java API for XML-based RPC (JAX-RPC), a part of J2EE 1.4, is the Java API of choice for developing and using service endpoints based on SOAP that are described using WSDL. It is possible to develop web services that pass complete documents and also document fragments.
