SOAP Web Services with JAX-WS and Jakarta XML

Enterprise systems rely heavily on robust, contract-backed communication protocols to exchange critical data securely. This text-based course guides you through the foundational concepts of SOAP and JAX-WS, giving you the practical knowledge to build and maintain enterprise-grade web services. By working through comprehensive written explanations and code-focused exercises, you will transition from understanding basic XML payloads to designing, deploying, and consuming production-ready SOAP services. You will also learn how to adapt to modern namespace changes under the Jakarta EE umbrella. What you'll learn: - Understand the core architecture of SOAP, WSDL, and XML schemas. - Create JAX-WS endpoints using both contract-first and contract-last approaches. - Build robust SOAP clients to consume external web services reliably. - Configure message handlers to intercept, log, and manipulate SOAP payloads. - Apply modern security standards, including WS-Security, to protect your endpoints. - Manage dependency transitions from legacy Java EE namespaces to modern Jakarta XML Web Services. The course begins with essential terminology, XML fundamentals, and SOAP structure before guiding you through step-by-step implementations of endpoints and clients. You will practice through structured text-based code exercises designed to reinforce real-world integration scenarios. This course is designed for Java developers new to enterprise web services, requiring only a basic understanding of Java programming.
