Java Training Overview
This course shows experienced Java programmers how to build RESTful web services using the Java API for RESTful Web Services, or JAX-RS. We begin with an overview of web services development in the Java EE platform, including SOAP, WSDL, REST; JAX-WS, JAXB, and JAX-RS. Then students learn to work with JAXB to bind Java object models to XML Schema. The bulk of the course is devoted to study of JAX-RS: students work with the Jersey implementation of JAX-RS to create RESTful services from simple single-value interactions to more sophisticated services that manage CRUD (create/retrieve/update/delete) operations on more complex data types, using JAXB to marshal and unmarshal data over the wire.
Java Training Learning Objectives
- Understand the advantages of the REST architecture for web services.
- Use JAX-RS to develop simple RESTful services.
- Control dispatching to service methods based on URL patterns and HTTP methods.
- Bind request values to method parameters when expressed as HTTP query parameters, form values, headers, cookies, and more.
- Manage XML content using XML Schema and JAXB.
- Incorporate XML entities into service input and output.
- Take advantage of lifecycle and context services available to JAX-RS services as Java EE components.
Java Training Prerequisites
- Strong Java programming skills are essential .
- Students must be able to read XML documents and to write well-formed XML by hand. Knowledge of XML Schema will be helpful, too, but is not a strict prerequisite.
- Experience with other Java EE standards, especially servlets and JSP, will be very helpful in class, but is not strictly required
Server Support: GlassFish
This version of the course works with the GlassFish server. Our Java EE courses are available in variants that support various server products, including Tomcat, GlassFish, JBoss, and WebLogic.
