Time required

To complete this tutorial, you will need approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. If you decide to explore other facets of Web services or EJBs while working on the tutorial, it could take longer to finish.

 

 

Prerequisites

In order to complete this tutorial end to end, you should be familiar with:

• Basic Web services concepts, such as SOAP and WSDL
• Basic XML
• EJB programming

 

 

Learning objectives

You will learn how to create a WS-I compliant Web service from a WSDL file. The wizard generates an EJB skeleton that contains a set of methods corresponding to the operations described in the WSDL document. When the EJB is created, each method has a trivial implementation that can be easily replaced by editing the EJB.

When you are ready, begin Exercise 1.1: Set up the workspace and create the required projects
