Java API for XML-based RPC

Dale Green

If you're new to the Java API for XML-based RPC (JAX-RPC), this chapter is the place to start. After briefly describing JAX-RPC, the chapter shows you how to build a simple Web service and client.

Although it starts with the basics, this chapter does have a few prerequisites. First, you should already be familiar with the Java programming language. You should also know how to install software, set environment variables, edit text files, and run commands from a terminal window. A basic knowledge of Web servers is helpful, but not required.
