| Each of this book's parts are described using simple and easy-to-follow sample applications. The first part covers the basics you'll need to learn before you can start using JAX. These include understanding the constituent components of the Web service architecture: SOAP, UDDI, and WSDL. Also covered in this part is an overview of the specific APIs. The second part describes the Java APIs for XML Processing (JAXP), covering the SAX, DOM, and XSLT specifications. The XML processing specifications enable an application to parse an XML document in different ways. The third part describes the Java APIs for XML Messaging (JAXM). These APIs make it possible for applications to programmatically create and send SOAP messages. The fourth part covers the Java APIs for XML Registries (JAXR) and Remote Procedure Calls (JAX-RPC). These APIs provide the necessary mechanism for applications to connect to UDDI-based registries and submit, manage, and query data. JAX-RPC enables applications to perform remote procedure calls over the Internet. The fifth part describes a case study that shows how the components of JAX work together to create a successful Web service. This part also has brief descriptions of the Java Architecture for XML Binding (JAXB) and upcoming APIs that will provide even more flexibility in developing XML-based applications using Java. Finally, there are two appendixes: The first appendix describes how to download and install JAX, and the second provides a quick overview of XML. |
