Java Web Services
Developer Pack
As I was writing the XML example, I realized I did not have the proper
XML JARs. I went to Sun to download the JARs, and I came upon the
Java Web Services Developer Pack, a free kit (made mostly of open source
software) to develop XML Web Services. WSDP includes:
- Standard implementation of WSDL, SOAP, ebXML, UDDI.
- JSP and JSP standard tag library.
- WSDP Registry Server.
- Ant build tool.
- Apache Tomcat 4.1.2 container.
- Some of these are new to us, some are not new. Some you may even have already installed on your computer.
- So I downloaded and installed it.
- The installation guide stated that you must copy files from lib/endorsed to your jdk installation. Unfortunately, I don't recall the exact source or destination folders, just follow the instructions.
- Also, the installation came with a getting started guide, linked here for your convenience.
