Java Web services: The year ahead in Java Web services
The coming year is bringing dramatic changes to the Web services landscape. For Java developers, these changes will include both new Web services frameworks and new layers of functionality built on top of Web services. In this first part of his "Java Web Services" series, Dennis Sosnoski looks at the coming changes and plots a course for readers.

Java Web services: Granular use of WS-Security
WS-Security for SOAP Web services doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing proposition. By configuring WS-Security at the operation or message level, you can apply an appropriate degree of protection to every exchange, reducing or eliminating the WS-Security overhead for operations that don't need full protection. Dennis Sosnoski continues his Java Web services series with a look at granular WS-Security in Web Services Description Language (WSDL) using Apache Axis2 and Rampart.

Java Web services: JAXB and JAX-WS in Axis2
Apache Axis2 supports a range of data-binding technologies, including the official Java standard, JAXB 2.x. Axis2 also supports the Java standard for Web service configuration, JAX-WS 2.x, as an alternative to its own custom configuration technique. Dennis Sosnoski continues his Java Web services column series by demonstrating how you can use each of these Java standards with Axis2 and discussing some of the limitations of Axis2's current support for them.

Java Web services: Introducing Metro
The Metro Web service stack provides a comprehensive solution for accessing and implementing Web services. It's based on the reference implementations of the JAXB 2.x and JAX-WS 2.x Java standards, with added components to support WS-* SOAP extension technologies and actual Web service deployment. This article continues Dennis Sosnoski's Java Web services column series with a look at the basic principles of Metro client and server development.

Java Web services: Axis2 WS-Security basics
Learn how to add the Rampart security module to Apache Axis2 and start using WS-Security features in your Web services. Dennis Sosnoski resumes his Java Web services series with a look at WS-Security and WS-SecurityPolicy use in Axis2, starting with UsernameToken as a simple first step. The next few columns will take you further with WS-Security and WS-SecurityPolicy, as implemented by Axis2 and Rampart.

Java Web Services: Axis2 Data Binding
The Apache Axis2 Web services framework was designed from the start to
support multiple XML data-binding approaches. The current release provides full
support for XMLBeans and JiBX data binding, as well as the custom Axis Data Binding
(ADB) approach developed specifically for Axis2. This article shows you how to use
these different data bindings with Axis2 and explains why you might prefer one over
the others for your application.

Java Web services: Digging into Axis2: AXIOM
The Apache Axis2 Web services framework builds on the new AXIOM XML document model for efficient SOAP message processing. Unlike conventional document models, AXIOM builds the document representation in memory only as it's being accessed. Learn why this on-demand construction is a great approach for SOAP processing, and how XOP/MTOM attachments, data binding, and performance fit into the picture.

Java Web services: Axis2 WS-Security signing and encryption
Get an introduction to the principles of public key cryptography, then see how WS-Security applies them for signing and encrypting SOAP messages using public-private key pairs in combination with secret keys. Dennis Sosnoski continues his Java Web services series with a discussion of WS-Security and WS-SecurityPolicy signing and encryption features, along with example code using Axis2 and Rampart.

Java Web services: The high cost of (WS-)Security
WS-Security offers powerful features for securing Web service
applications, and for many applications these features are essential. But these
features come at a high cost in terms of performance and message overhead. Dennis
Sosnoski continues his Java Web services column series with a look at how using WS-Security or WS-SecureConversation affects Axis2 performance, and he discusses when the simpler (and better performing) alternative of HTTPS-secured connections is a more appropriate choice.
