Understanding the fundamental web services standards (XML, SOAP, and WSDL) is essential to becoming a competent web services developer. However, you’ll also need to understand how to implement web services in software. Numerous web services platforms allow you to build production systems based on the web services standards, including .NET, Perl, and Java EE. The focus of this book is obviously the Java EE platform, and specifically, support for web services in EJB. The next chapter explains how JAX-WS and its precursor (JAX-RPC) are used to support web services in Enterprise JavaBeans.
