Java EE 6: Develop Web Services with JAX-WS & JAX-RS

• Create XML documents and XML schemas while using XML Namespaces.
• Produce and consume JSON and XML using JAXB.
• Understand WSDL files and the role they play in SOAP based web services and select either a top-down (WSDL first) or bottom-up (code first) approach to the development of SOAP web services.
• Make calls to and implement web services based on SOAP standards using JAX-WS (Metro Stack).
• Implement REST practices in the creation of web services with the JAX-RS specification (Jersey Stack).
• Secure web services using Java EE Security standards, WS-Security extensions, and OAuth 1.0a.
