Sang Shin
The 4th and the new
session started from
May 1st, 2008. Just
like
other online courses I
teach, this course is offered online only. For those of
you who are not sure what it's like to take this course online, please
see What
it's like to take Sang Shin's online course. Just to set the
expectation correctly, there is no real-time webcasting.
How to register for

Topics and Schedule
Note
that only the topics
with the
dates assigned will be covered in this
course. It is my plan to provide presentation slides and hands-on
labs for the topics that do not have dates whenever I find time.
The technologies we will have special focus in this course are
highlighted in
bold font.
Software and

Software Required
Please install the specific version of JDK and NetBeans mentioned below
for now in order to minimize the possible surprise in running the
sample applications.
- Java Standard Development Kit (JDK™) version 6.0 update 4 or
after (download)
- You want to make sure you are using JDK 6 update 4 or later version.
Don't use JDK 6 update 3 or earlier version if you are using JDK 6
because JDK 6 update 3 or earlier versions comes with JAX-WS 2.0 jar
files which are not compatible with JAX-WS 2.1 that is required to run
the JAX-WS 2.1 applications.
- NetBeans IDE 6.1 (download)
- Download "All" bundle,
which contains SOA pack.
- When you install NetBeans IDE, it will ask you which JDK
you want to use. Select JDK 6.0.
- soapUI (download)
- You can use it either in stand-alone mode or within NetBeans
Sample Codes we are going to use
The sample applications we are going to use are not in the form of
"native" NetBeans projects, which means we will have to build and run
the as "free form" projects. (A "Free form" NetBeans
project is the one that has its own Ant script. This has some
limitations in terms of using it under NetBeans. As we move
along, these projects will be provided as native NetBeans projects from
the source or I will convert them. But for now, we will live with
what we have. What is important is we have some code to work
with.) Given that this is the first time I am teaching some of
the Web services new technologies, I must confess that I am learning
things myself for the first time. So please expect some "trials
and errors".
- Java
EE 5 Tutorial 1.0 (download)
- We are going to use sample applications that are shipped in the
Java EE 5 Tutorial
- All applications can be built and run through ant script and
NetBeans
- Metro (download)
- We are going to use sample applications that are being
shipped in the Metro

Web Services Overview
This topic cover high-level overview of
what Web service is. If you already have reasonable idea
what a Web service is, you can skip this topic. There is no homework
for this topic.

to the topics
XML Namespace
XML namespace is like a packaging concept of Java programming language
- basically to avoid the name collision. Namespace is extensively
used in all Web services related documents. You will also
learn the basic concept of default namepace. The concept of
target namespace is dealt with in XML schema presentation. There
is no homework for this topic.

XML Schema
Given that most Web services exchange
data in the form of XML document, whose syntax is constrained by a XML
schema, having a good command on XML schema is very important for
the development of Web services.

XML Schema Design
Patterns
This topic covers several XML schema
design patterns that have been identified. There is no
homework for this topic.
1. Presentation slides
2. Lab 2 - 0.5 hour (You can just create a new NetBeans project and
then add the sample XML schema)
3. Resources

to the topics
XPath
XPath is a XML language you can use to make references to the part of
your XML document - actually a set of nodes. XPath is used by XPath and
other XML language as a way of making references to the XML document.
1. Presentation slides
return
to the topics
XSLT
XSLT lets you perform transformation of your source XML document to
another XML document, HTML document, or even a plain text. In
many cases, he XML document you have received need to be transformed to
a different format, in which case you will use XSLT for that.

XSLT 2
In this session, you are going to learn a bit more advanced usage of
XSLT.

to the topics
JAXP, SAX, and DOM
JAXP provides standard Java API for XML parsing and transformation
based on pluggable framework. It does support SAX and DOM.
In general, the usage of JAXP/SAX/DOM is getting replaced by StAX.

SOAP Basics
You are going to learn basic message
structure of SOAP messages. In general, as a developer, you are
not going to directly construct or manipulate a SOAP message, but it is
still useful to understand how SOAP message is constructed and how it
is handled by endpoint.

WSDL Basics
Having a good command on WSDL is
important for building and deploying a well-functioning and
interoperable Web services. Even though you will use tools for
importing existing WSDLs or creating WSDLs from existing Java classes,
it is still important for you to have good understanding of it
especially when you have to debug the mal-functioning Web services.

JAX-RPC (J2EE 1.4 Web
Services)
In general, you are recommended to use
JAX-WS to build Web services and clients even if they are going to be
deployed over J2EE 1.4 container (Servlet 2.4 container) since Web
services that are created using JAX-WS can be deployed over Servlet 2.4
container and they still SOAP 1.1 as communication protocol as a
default.

JAX-WS 2.x
JAX-WS 2.x based Web services are
easier to develop than
JAX-RPC since you build Web services using
annotations. JAX-WS 2.x also supports lots of new features. The
focus of this course is JAX-WS (instead of JAX-RPC).

RESTful Web Service Primer
REST is gaining popularity as another
Web services communication model due to simplicity. In fact,
there are still some debate going on "REST vs. SOAP". Each has
its own strengths and weaknesses. You choose either depending on
what you are trying to achieve for your applications.
