Enterprise Java Contract First vs Contract Last Web Services: related news

Enterprise Java Contract-First vs. Contract-Last Web Services

This article will discuss two fundamentally different approaches to development of the enterprise Web Services (WS). Both approaches use SOAP over HTTP protocols and define endpoints and operations via a Web Services Definition Language (WSDL) file. The two methods are contract-first and contract-last. Even though the technology stack can be similar for both methods, they differ in both the methodology and the implementations. The examples will be in Java and cover the most common toolkits such as Spring-WS and Apache Axis, and some automation tools, like JBuilder 2007.

Web Services Security for Java

My new WebServices.XML.com column, which focuses on web services security, will demonstrate practical aspects of using various security standards for web services along with specific server side technologies and programming languages. In the first few articles of the column, I will demonstrate the use of web services security (WSS) in Java applications, and I will outline what is required for their implementation. This first column presents a simplified high-level API that offers Java programmers an easy interface to produce and consume WSS messages.

Implementing Contextual Web Services

Web Services are a true interoperable technology that enables disparate systems to talk to each other using a common language. The Web Service consumers communicate to Web Services using SOAP messages transported over standard HTTP protocol. HTTP is a stateless protocol in nature, meaning that subsequent Web Service requests (for example, SOAP over HTTP) from the same user are considered as independent requests. The stateless behavior simplifies the design of HTTP protocol but this forces developers to use alternate methods such as cookies to maintain the user state. As the Web Services technology and the standards around it evolve more and more, the kind of application that the large enterprises implement using Web Services also tends to evolve.

Java SE Runtime Environment 6 Update 10 Beta

Java Runtime Environment (JRE) enables your computer to run applications and applets that use Java technology. Java technology allows you to work and play in a secure computing environment. Java technology is in cell phones, automobiles, the Mars Rover, and many other places. By downloading it to your computer, you will be able to experience the power of Java software. The Java Virtual Machine is only one aspect of Java software that is involved in web interaction. The Java Virtual Machine is built right into your Java software download, and helps the Sun JRE run Java applications.

Amazon Web Services Adds Static IP Addresses

Seattle-based Amazon Web Services, the web services arm of Amazon.com, said today that it has launched the ability to have static IP addresses with its Amazon EC2 cloud computing services. The firm's EC2 services previously did not allow static IP addresses, making it more difficult for developers to create computing instances and applications. According to Amazon, the new support allows users to create "Elastic IP" addresses which can be dynamically remapped to any compute instance in EC2. The ability makes it easier for users to host web sites on the service, and other applications which require a fixed (non-changing) IP address. The firm said static IP addresses were among the top requests of its developers. EC2 is Amazon's web-based service for renting computing capacity "on demand.

Java Champion Adam Bien on the Latest Technologies

Java Champion Adam Bien has an extended history with both the Java SE and Java EE technologies, having worked with both since their inception with JDK 1.0 and Java Web Server, as Janice J. Heiss reports. At the outset of the interview, Bien identified three fallacies associated with the Java EE platform: the belief that J2EE is complex; the belief that Java EE 5 is easy; and the belief that distributed programming could be simpler. Instead, he maintains, the process of building J2EE applications is labor intensive and can be boring but not exactly complex. He offered code samples of the operations necessary to deploy the server-side component HelloBean. With Java EE 5 the process is somewhat simpler.
