Use the Eclipse Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and Java™ Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) 6 to create a stand-alone Web services application that can be run from the console. In this tutorial, the first in a series, start by getting familiar with the Eclipse IDE. Configure the environment; create projects, packages, and classes; then run the application from the command line.

Objectives

  • Understand what a Web service is and the standards it uses in relation to a browser being used from within Eclipse to view the published Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file.

  • Create the server side of a Web service, including how to install and configure the Eclipse IDE and the Java Development Kit (JDK) so that they perform together to generate the code that's compiled using Java SE 6.

  • Use the Ant Java-based build tool within the Eclipse IDE to run a special Java command to generate some of the code.

Prerequisites

This tutorial includes simple steps written for beginning- to intermediate-level Java programmers with some working knowledge of the Java language and Ant builds. Novice to more advanced Java developers will gain some knowledge of how to build, deploy, and run stand-alone Web services servers and distributed clients to provide firewall-friendly remote communications and applications processing.


System requirements

To follow the examples, you need to download:

You don't have to download Ant, as its functionality is bundled with Eclipse. This tutorial uses the Ganymede EE version of Eclipse.
