Java™ How to Program, Seventh Edition

28.3. Creating, Publishing, Testing and Describing a Web Service

The following subsections demonstrate how to create, publish and test a HugeInteger web service that performs calculations with positive integers up to 100 digits long (maintained as arrays of digits).
