Web Services is a major area for growth in the programming industry. Indeed Microsoft have staked their company on it, completely re-engineering the Windows platform for this purpose. In the Java world, a system for distributed, highly scalable, maintainable enterprise systems is already in place. The software engineer must merely add an additional layer, that of Web Services, in order to enable implementation independent cross application communication for distributed applications. This also means simpler enterprise application integration (EAI) through standard models for publishing, discovering, and binding to Web Services. This book teaches the core standards for Web Services today including SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI, giving practical advice on implementing Web Services in enterprise applications. 
What does this book cover? 
Architecture for web services SOAP and Apache SOAP 2.2 Web Service fundamentals (WSDL and UDDI) Web Service-enabling existing J2EE applications SAP and web services Web services security JAXM, JAXRPC, and JAXR Introductions to SunONE and AXIS

This book will provide the first in-depth look at AXIS, which is the new name for Apache SOAP – the most widely used Java implementation of SOAP. The rapid uptake of SOAP based web services has lead to the continuous and rapid development of the SOAP specification – putting pressure on the various implementations to keep up. AXIS will address the performance issues inherent in Apache-SOAP and create a new architecture, which will be more extensible. 
 The book starts with an introduction to AXIS and web services, highlighting the goals of the Apache AXIS project and its current status. The key to exploiting the power of AXIS is in understanding its architecture and how to extend it. This book will show you how to do this by writing your own custom message handlers. Then it moves on to using the new parts of the SOAP specification AXIS implements and Java 2 Enterprise Edition integration. All this builds towards a full case study based around a supply chain application for a car manufacturer and its dealers. This book will: Explain what AXIS is and why it's needed Look at the Architecture of AXIS in detailL Show how to extend the capabilities of AXIS with custom handlers Demonstrate the new advanced SOAP capabilities that AXIS provides How to build a full supply chain solution based on AXIS Interoperability with Microsoft Client implementations Finally, we'll look at what the future holds for AXIS and SOAP

AXIS: Next Generation Java SOAP

Post Internet era has seen developments in web middleware. Application Servers quickly started Filling the gap. Tomcat is an application server built around the Java technology. It is a JSP and servlet container that can be attached to other popular web servers like Apache and IIS. It can act as a stand-alone web server as well. 
The JSP technology allows web developers to create dynamic web pages using XML-type tags or embedded Java. Servlets are components written in Java that can be invoked by servers. 
This book will provide the readers a complete discussion about Tomcat, its installation, configuration, use, and methods for securing it. This book goes a step further by providing discussion on issues like load balancing, shared hosting, load testing, and a lot more. In addition, readers will find a coverage on database connectivity using Tomcat. Tomcat is an open source web server that processes JavaServer Pages and Java Servlets. It can run as a stand-alone server or be integrated with Apache. Like Apache, the core Tomcat program is relatively simple, but there are many enhancements that can be added that make it much more complex. 
You will learn how to integrate Tomcat with the Apache HTTP server (and the situations when you should and you shouldn't), how to set up database connectivity through JDBC, and how to ensure your web applications are secure. 
It will also cover some of the tools that can be integrated with Tomcat, such as Ant (for automatically building web applications) and Log4J (for advanced logging). 
What does this book cover? 
- Tomcat 3.x, Tomcat 4.0.x, and Tomcat 4.1.x 
- The Tomcat architecture 
- Tomcat installation and configuration 
- Apache and Tomcat integration using the AJP and WARP connectors 
- Tomcat security with SSL, realms, and the Java Security Manager 
- Shared Tomcat hosting, server load testing, and load balancing 
- Managing and administering web applications 
- JDBC with Tomcat 
- Ant and Log4j 
This book will provide you, the server administrator, with the necessary knowledge to install and configure Tomcat, as well as many of the most popular enhancements to the Tomcat package. It will help you plan the installation and possible growth options of your site.
