Looking for Java Web Services with Java EE 5?

WebSphere Web Services Training Overview

A comprehensive look at the state of the art in developing interoperable web services on the J2EE platform using IBM^® WebSphere^® Application Server. Students learn the key standards -- SOAP, WSDL, and the WS-I Basic Profile -- and the Java architecture that has evolved to build interoperable services and clients. JAX-WS is central to the course, and we cover both WSDL-driven and Java-driven development paths, as well as message handlers and attachment support. With the new Provider and Dispatch APIs, it's now much easier to integrate SAAJ, JAXB, and JAXP code into services and clients, and we explore these strategies in depth as well.

Location and Pricing

Most Accelebrate courses are taught on-site at our clients' locations worldwide for groups of 3 or more attendees and are customized to their specific needs. Please visit our client list to see organizations for whom we have recently delivered training. These courses can also be delivered as live, private online classes for groups that are geographically dispersed or wish to save on the instructor's or students' travel expenses. To receive a customized proposal and price quote private training at your site or online, please contact us.

In addition, some courses are available as live, online classes for individuals. To see a schedule of online courses, please visit http://www.accelebrate.com/online_training/java.htm.

WebSphere Web Services Training Prerequisites

Solid experience in Java Programming, including object-oriented Java and the Java streams model, is essential to learning to build Java Web services.
Some experience with Java EE development, especially Web applications using servlets, will be very helpful, but is not strictly required.
Some understanding of XML and XML Schema is strongly recommended.
Various related technology is discussed in the course: JAXP, SAX, DOM, XSLT, XPath, JSP, and JSTL. None of these is a formal prerequisite for the course, and labs are built to allow students without experience in these topics to work through successfully. Experience in these areas will be helpful, however.

Hands-on/Lecture Ratio

This class is 70% hands-on, 30% lecture, with the longest lecture segments lasting for 20 minutes.

WebSphere Web Services Training Materials

All WebSphere Web Services training attendees receive comprehensive courseware covering all topics in the course.

Software Needed on Each Student PC

IBM Rational Application Developer (RAD) Version 7 and at least 2GB RAM
The Web Services Feature Pack for WebSphere 6.1
Additional lab files that we would provide, including a RAD7 workspace

WebSphere Web Services Training Objectives

After this training, attendees shall be able to:

Be able to describe the interoperable web services architecture, including the roles of SOAP and WSDL.
Understand the importance of the WS-I Basic Profile for interoperable web services.
Build JAX-WS services and clients that take full advantage of the automated data binding of JAXB.
Use lower-level SOAP and XML APIs for services and/or clients.
Customize data binding by specifying specific type mappings or altering method or parameter names.
