Links for Learning More About Web-Services with JAVA Enterprise Edition

Team. We are still working on adding the web services. One of the nice aspects of using an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) like NetBeans is that much of the web-services code is auto-generated. All one must do is complete the method stubs which the IDE generates and add any other supporting methods private, protected, package, or public.

For more information on web services with JAVA Enterprise Edition (JEE) see:

http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/tutorial/doc/

The JEE tutorial is rather large and more that 1500 pages in Adobe portable document format (PDF). However, the beginning of each chapter has a nice summary of the topics contained therein. It is best if you read the first paragraphs of each section of the chapter on web-services to become acquainted with them. This is only a few pages of reading in comparison with the whole text which covers other topics such as JAVA Security, JAVA Persistence, JAVA Server Faces (JSF), Servlets, and Enterprise JAVA Beans.

If you are a full-time software engineer whose primary skill-set is JEE and you have not read through this tutorial, you should. Much of it will likely be review, but you might fill in a number of gaps in your learning if there are any. You can easily skim five or ten pages in a day. In a year you will be done. It is probably best if  you try digesting it in small palatable portions.

Also, before building any web services on your own with NetBeans, please consider reading through the tutorials at:

https://netbeans.org/

Simply search for "web service tutorials". This will simplify the coding process. Enjoy this day of coding. La-La.
