About XML Web Services Training
Java Web Services class teaches students how to build Web Services and Web Service clients using Java technologies. The class includes a introduction to XML namespaces, XML Schema, SOAP, and WSDL before exploring Web service client or server-side development in Java APIs and tools. Specifically, this class focuses on JAX-WS.

XML Web Services Training Course Prerequisite
Students should have a good understanding of the Java programming language and a basic understanding of XML. Students that have attended Java and Advanced Java have the necessary background for this course.

XML Web Services Training Course Objective

• Understand how Web services related to Service Oriented Architecture.
• Become familiar with the pillar Web service specifications for XML, XML Schema, SOAP, WSDL and UDDI.
• Pick up design patterns and best practices for Web service interface documents.
• Experience the development of Java Web services using the JAX-WS API.
• See how WSDL and Schema elements map to Java objects.
• Recognize and understand the difference between RPC and Document styled services.
• Learn how to make and test Web services that are highly interoperable

XML Web Services Training Course Duration

• 45 Working days, daily one and half hours

XML Syntax

• An example XML document:
• All XML elements must have a closing tag
• XML tags are case sensitive
• All XML elements must be properly nested
• All XML documents must have a root tag

DTD – Entities

• Entities as variables used to define shortcuts to common text.
• Entity references are references to entities.
• Entities can be declared internal.
• Entities can be declared external

How to associate a DTD with XML?

• Inside an XML document
• External reference.
