An overview and pragmatic approach to the use of JAX-WS to build web service clients and service implementations. This presentation will discuss JAX-WS and the different toolsets as well as give pragmatic examples for different approaches when implementing JAX-WS. The discussion will cover Java Centric and WSDL centric approaches and their tradeoffs. In addition it will demonstrate real source examples using maven 2 and junit tests with JAX-WS.

The discussion will most benefit attendees unfamiliar with JAX-WS, but will also discuss lessons learned.

Gary Rudolph is currently the Director of Foundation and Architecture for eHarmony, Inc. located in Pasadena, CA. He has 13 years of experience in architecture and engineering. His team is leading the next generation architecture for eharmony.com that is SOA based with implementations all based on JAX-WS.

Previously, Gary was an architect at Intuit, Inc. responsible for moving their credit card acquirer systems to a Java based SOA implementation. At eHarmony, Inc. he also lead the engineering effort to build the eHarmony Marriage product. Further Gary worked in the consulting industry as an architect for BEA and Lolay, his own consultant company with clients such as Sprint/Nextel, Schwab, Renesas, Virgin Mobile, SAIC, etc. Gary made his move to the Java world as an architect for Sprint/Nextel on their internal, sales and customer service systems.

Directions

Topics covered include: Fundamentals of generics: type parameters and generic methods Other new features: boxing and unboxing, foreach loops, varargs Subtyping and wildcards Evolution not revolution: generic libraries with legacy clients and generic clients with legacy libraries Generics and reflection Design patterns for generics Sets, Queues, Lists, Maps, and their implementations Concurrent programming and thread safety with collections Performance implications of different collections

Generics and the new collection libraries they inspired take Java to a new level. If you want to take your software development practice to a new level, this book is essential reading.

Philip Wadler is Professor of Theoretical Computer Science at the University of Edinburgh, where his research focuses on the design of programming languages. He is a co-designer of GJ, work that became the basis for generics in Sun's Java 5.0.

Maurice Naftalin is Technical Director at Morningside Light Ltd., a software consultancy in the United Kingdom. He has most recently served as anarchitect and mentor at NSB Retail Systems plc, and as the leader of the client development team of a major UK government social service system.

"A brilliant exposition of generics. By far the best book on the topic, it provides a crystal clear tutorial that starts with the basics and ends leaving the reader with a deep understanding of both the use and design of generics." Gilad Bracha, Java Generics Lead, Sun Microsystems

We'll be continuing our work with the book Java Generics and Collections by Maurice Naftalin and Philip Wadler .

Chapter 3 Comparison and Bounds Chapter 4 Declarations, are the focus of the next session on the 8th. While reading, try to develop some questions.
