• Java, XML, and Web Services
• Conclusions
Copyright 2003 BEA Systems, Inc All Rights Reserved OMG Web Services Workshop February 2003 2
Which Java?
• We address Web services standards and technology

for all three Java platforms
– Java 2 Enterprise Edition [J2EE]
– Java 2 Standard Edition [J2SE]
– Java 2 Micro Edition [J2ME]
• We concentrate on J2EE.
• Key technologies for this discussion
– Servlets
– Deployment mechanisms, Toolkits
– Enterprise Java Beans
– Java Messaging Service
Java Standards
• Java Community Process

– Current version is 2.5
• Java Executive Committees
– One for J2EE and J2SE
– One for J2ME
• Over 200 JSRs to date, roughly half have completed
• Specification Lead responsible for JSR
• Expert Group contributes to work on the JSR
• Community Review and Public Review Drafts before
Final Release
Java Standards (continued)
• Web site http://www.jcp.org

• All Java Specification Requests and resultant
specifications are on the JCP.org site.
– Full lists of JSRs are at
– For example, StAX, the Streaming API for parsing
XML, JSR 173, is at
http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=173
• Not all Java specifications are at that site
– Pre-JCP portions are at http://java.sun.com/

“Wire level” is XML and
SOAP
• SOAP 1.1
• SOAP 1.2 (w3c XML Protocol)
• XML Language
Description
• WSDL 1.1
• WSDL 1.2 in process
• Also XML Schema
– From W3C architecture
Discovery
• Repository
– UDDI is usually described as the Web Services
Repository
– ebXML Registry/repository may be implemented in
UDDI, and vice versa
• Inspection
Five Levels of
Description
• In this talk we break the “Wire” level into two
parts, giving four levels:
1) XML Infrastructure (including XML Schema)
2) Wire packaging (SOAP versions)
3) Description (WSDL versions)
4) Discovery (UDDI, ebXML Reg/Rep, etc)
5) Additional Capabilities using or extending Web
services
• For example, Web Services Remote Portlet,
Web Services Security, Transactions
• We discuss standardization and technologies
in the Java 2 platforms for each level
The Base—

Description—WSDL
• Java API for WSDL JSR 110

– Proposed Final Draft 26 November 2002
Discovery—
Registries and Repositories
• JAXR (Java API for XML Registries) JSR 93
– Final Release 11 June 2002

Additional Capabilities
• Security
– XML Trust Service APIs JSR 104
– XML Digital Signature JSR 105
– XML Digital Encryption APIs JSR 106
– Web Services Security Assertions JSR 155
– Web Services Message Security JSR 183
• Metadata
– A Metadata Facility for the Java Platform JSR 175
– Web Services Metadata for the Java Platform JSR
181
Additional Capabilities
(continued)
• XML Transactioning API for Java (JAXTX)

JSR 156
• J2ME Web Services Specification JSR 172
• Web Services Remote Portlet and Java Portlet
Specification (JSR 168)—Talk on Tuesday
Note: 9 of 19 Web Services/XML JSRs are

finished or nearly so, half of the others are
progressing
Connecting Web Services
to J2EE Technologies
• Toolkits
• Some Toolkits support
– JMS queues and topics
– EJBs (usually stateless session beans)
– Database access via JDBC
• Most support
– Publishing of certain Java Classes as Web
Services
• Some support WSDL-to-Java mapping
Toolkits—Java-Specific
Technology Bridging
• JMS (Java Message Service)
– Generally not interoperable across vendors
– Many implementations have XML message type
– BEA has been advocating Web services
interoperability for JMS
• EJBs (Enterprise Java Beans)
– Control/bridge in WebLogic Workshop
– Automated wrapping/deployment common
• Database Access via JDBC
– Control/bridge in WebLogic Workshop, others
Toolkits—Development
and Deployment
• Little in the way of automatic wrapping for JMS
or Database access
• Typically automated for EJBs or Java Classes
• Deployment may be automatic/assisted
– Special cases can be made easy
Toolkits—Target
• Target is either
– A servlet container (not necessarily J2EE certified)
• Often Apache, other generic servlet containers
– A specific J2EE Container (or several), as in
• WebLogic Workshop
• Cape Clear CapeConnect
• IBM alphaWorks, others targeting WebSphere
• Iona XMLBus
• Systinet WASP
Some Toolkits
• Apache AXIS
• BEA WebLogic Workshop
• IBM Web Services Toolkits
• Iona XML Bus, WS Integration Platform
• Java Web Services Developer Pack (Sun)
• Microsoft SOAP Toolkit
• The Mind Electric Glue
• Systinet WASP
Conclusions:
Java and Web Services
• Java is the strongest enterprise execution environment
today
• Java is supported by products from many companies
• Java is well-supported by open source projects
• Java standards (JSRs) allow consistent Web services
usage in the Java platform; many JSRs for XML and
Web Services, some complete and deployed
• Java is closest to an open standard
• Toolkits and development environments are a ripe
area for competition
