Although many of the services in active use are SOAP or at least XML-based, an increasing number of services take a RESTful approach to data transmission. Representational state transfer (REST) is a style of software architecture that differs from the more traditional Remote Procedure Call (RPC) style of data transmission, instead emphasizing the importance of defining and retrieving representations of resources.

The Java JAX-RS specification covers how to implement RESTful services with Java. This specification is driven by annotations and can be leveraged from many different environments, including a Java EE 'Application Server'. With the recent inclusion of the JAX-RS specification in the Java EE 6 umbrella of technologies implementing RESTful services with JAX-RS will become even easier.

It is also common to use an AJAX client with RESTful services.  These clients are implemented in JavaScript so that browser-based applications can communicate with REST services to obtain data enabling a rich, Web 2.0 client experience.

This course covers the design principles of REST architecture along with the details of how to implement these services with JAX-RS. This will allow students who take the course to implement RESTful services using Java standards that will be portable to many different Java environments.  Also covered are how to implement AJAX clients of RESTful services sending various data formats.

This is a course designed for the developers and architects that focuses on the security aspects of Web Service development. Through lecture and hands on exercise this class will teach you the security problems faced by a Web Service consumer or provider and how to solve them through open standards. Topics like authentication, authorization, encryption and non-repudiation are covered. Advanced topics like single sign on and trust based authentication are also covered.

When all you have is a hammer…everything looks like a nail.  Although many of the services in active use are SOAP or at least XML-based, an increasing number of services take a RESTful approach to data transmission.  Representational state transfer (REST) is a style of software architecture that differs from the more traditional Remote Procedure Call (RPC) style of data transmission, instead emphasizing the importance of defining and retrieving representations of resources.
This course explores the principles, practices, and application of REST as a software architecture methodology.  While much of the learning could be applied to any REST compatible implementation, emphasis will be placed upon the design and development of RESTful Web Services.

This hands-on course is aimed at architects and developers that want to learn how to design and develop RESTful services that fully comply with the full range of the RESTful design methodology.  Students will learn to define and work with such REST elements as resources, components, and connectors.  Furthermore, emphasis will be placed upon the definition of a REST interface and the management of multiple representations for a given resource.  All concepts are reinforced through detailed, hands-on labs in a vendor-neutral context.

Next generation web applications (i.e. “Web 2.0”) are quickly becoming the standard in web application development and interface design. Additionally, enterprises are increasingly interested in creating new Web-based services as well as harnessing data from existing ones. Some even go so far as to perform enterprise mashups of data to provide knowledge workers with new insight regarding their domain of interest.

Core skill sets for modern application development now must include AJAX, XML / XHMTL, and Web services in addition to the basic web and application development skills that have been needed for so years. Not only must these skills exist in isolation, but increasingly developers are pushed to be able to integrate and combine these skills in support of web portals and mashups.

This hands-on course is aimed at developers that want to expand their skills in AJAX and XML into the Web service and enterprise mashup arena. The course assumes knowledge and experience with basic AJAX-style programming and XML document management. A brief introduction to Web services is provided, followed by detailed coverage of consuming syndication feeds and Web services via AJAX. XML content styling and data management is also covered. All concepts are reinforced through detailed, hands-on labs in a vendor-neutral context.

Building a web service is easy.  Many products provide WS APIs right out of the box.   Those that do not can readily be service-enabled.  Virtually any modern homegrown application can be made to expose a service interface with the addition of a handful of annotations.  As a last resort, applications can be service-enabled by crafting a simple Web service wrapper.  Building services is easy.  Building good services is another story.
The course offers practical knowledge regarding how to effectively design and develop high performance Web services.  Students will be introduced to the theory, best practices, and strategies associated with Web service performance.
Concepts in this workshop are re-enforced through a combination of group discussion and hands-on exercises lab exercises.

This course is for students looking to build and perfect their web service development knowledge. Starting from the basics of Web Service concepts (such as WSDL, XML schema, and JAXB), the student will learn all aspects of programming a JAX-WS 2.1 web service. Additionally, advanced topics such as Web Services Interoperability (WS-I), WS-Reliable Messaging and WS-Addressing will also be covered. All development will be performed using JBoss 5.1 and Eclipse WTP.

JBoss supports multiple implementations of web service functionality, one of them being the Apache CXF (formerly XFire) project in addition to the "native" JBoss web service stack.  This course shows students how to develop web services with the Apache CXF JBoss web service stack, which is also supported on the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform.  Since the future direction of JBoss is to move away from the "native" stack and support Apache CXF as the default web service implementation this course will prepare developers to write applications using the Apache CXF implementation so that applications are better "future proof" for future JBoss versions.

This course will you teach you how to develop Web Service provider and consumer applications for the WebSphere Application Server v7.0 platform. It will teach you the theory behind XML schema, WSDL and SOAP. It will proceed to teach you various Java specifications that cover Web Services development (such as JAX-WS and JAXB).

Advanced topics such as WS-Security, WS-Addressing, WS-ReliableMessaging and WS-Trust are also covered.

All the labs are done using RAD v7.5.

If you are a J2EE developer, you can gain complete mastery over Web Services development in WebLogic Server after taking this course. This course will teach you the theory behind XML schema, WSDL and SOAP. It will proceed to teach you various Java specifications that cover Web Services development (JAX-WS , JAXB and JSR 921).

All the labs are done using WebLogic Server 10 and WebLogic BEA Workshop for WebLogic 10.

In this course you will learn fundamentals necessary to use XML in the data-driven applications in SOA and Web Services. Through lecture and hands-on lab exercises, you will learn the essentials of data interoperability using XML, write well-formed XML documents, enforce document validity, use XSLT and stylesheets to transform XML documents, and get an introduction to XML programming options. You will also learn best practices for how to evolve XML syntax and structure over time and how XML related to some of the fundamental technologies used by Web Services.

For developers using RAD v7.0 interested in learning how to develop web services. Starting with an overview of the core basics of web service technologies (like XML Schema, SOAP and WSDL), students will then learn how to design and code JAX-RPC and JSR-109 web services. Advanced topics such as web service security, and UDDI will also be discussed. Additionally, an introduction to Service Oriented Analysis and Design will be provided.
