Java and SOAP provides Java developers with an in-depth look at SOAP (the Simple Object Access Protocol). Of course, it covers the basics: what SOAP is, why it’s soared to a spot on the Buzzwords’ Top Ten list, and what its features and capabilities are. And it shows you how to work with some of the more common Java APIs in the SOAP world: Apache SOAP and GLUE.

In addition to covering the basics such as the structure of a SOAP message, SOAP encoding, and building simple services using RPC and messaging, Java and SOAP covers many topics that are essential to real-world development. Although SOAP has native support for an impressive number of object types, the nature of modern programming means that whatever SOAP gives you is not enough. When do you need to add support for your own object types, and how do you do it? How do you handle errors, and how do you add your own information to Fault messages? How do you handle attachments?

In an ideal world, you could live entirely within Java, and ignore the SOAP messages being send back and forth: you’d be able to write Java code and let the SOAP APIs work behind the scenes. However, we’re not yet in that ideal world, and won’t be for some time. Therefore, Java and SOAP pays particular attention to how SOAP messages are encoded. It doesn’t just explain the document types, but shows how the documents are used in practice as they are generated by the different APIs. If you ever have to debug interoperability problems, you’ll find that this information is indispensable.

This book is a desktop quick reference for Java programmers who are
writing enterprise applications. The first part of the book provides a fast−paced
introduction to the key Java Enterprise APIs: JDBC™, RMI, Java IDL (CORBA), servlets, JNDI,
and Enterprise JavaBeans™. These chapters are followed by a quick−reference
section that succinctly details every class of those APIs, as well as a few other
Enterprise APIs. This book complements the best−selling Java in a Nutshell and the
forthcoming Java Foundation Classes in a Nutshell. Java in a Nutshell introduces the Java
programming language itself and provides an API quick reference for the core packages and
classes of the Java platform, while Java Foundation in a Nutshell offers a fast−paced tutorial
on the Java APIs that comprise the Java Foundation Classes (JFC) and provides corresponding
quick−reference material.
