J2EE 1.4 and Web Services
This session gives high-level overview of the newly added features to J2EE 1.4 first. Then it will describe Web Services features of J2EE 1.4 starting with an explanation of why J2EE is in fact the best platform for development and deployment of Web services. Web services architecture over J2EE platform is then explained. The programming APIs and deployment issues are also addressed. The programming APIs and Web services architecture are based on JSR 109 (Web Services for J2EE), JAX-RPC (Java API for XML-based RPC), JAXR (Java API for XMLRegistry), EJB 2.1, and Servlet 2.4.
Casey Chan is a Technology Evangelist in the Advanced Engineering group at Sun Microsystems. She is involved in developing and delivering Sun Code Camps and presenting on J2EE and Web Services at developer conferences around the world.
Java is widely espoused as a versatile programming language and runtime providing cross-platform portability, a relatively secure environment, and strong networking and connectivity APIs. The Java 2 Platform includes the Java 2D API and Java Sound engine as fundamental components. Extension APIs such as the Java Media Framework and Java 3D complete the multimedia capabilities available in Java 2.
We will discuss all of the Java Media APIs. We will focus on the most prominent APIs: Java 2D, JMF, and Java 3D.
