Intro to Web Services Presentation
In May 2006, I gave another presentation to the Kansas City Java User Group (KCJava). The topic of this presentation was an introduction to Web Services.
The presentation gives a high-level picture of what Web Services are and what are its key standards and technologies. It also shows the Java API's that support Web Services. Finally there is an example service and client built using Apache Axis.
This was my first in-depth look at Web Services and I was surprised at the complexity of the subject. In contrast, I was surprised at how easy Apache Axis made it to implement a Web Service. I also found that the Java Web Services Developer Pack (JWSDP) 2.0 has some similar features that I plan to learn more about.
