[The series of excerpts below are from Chapter 3 of the Wrox Press Ltd. title Professional Java Web Services.]

Introduction and What We Will Learn

In the previous chapter we discussed the internals of the SOAP 1.1 specification. In this chapter we will discuss Apache SOAP 2.2, an open source Java implementation of the SOAP 1.1 and SOAP with Attachments specifications. We will cover in this chapter:

• The history of the Apache SOAP project
• The future of Apache SOAP
• Installing Apache SOAP
• Developing a SOAP service using the facilities provided by Apache SOAP
• Deploying a SOAP service onto the Apache SOAP run-time environment
• Developing a SOAP client using the Apache SOAP client-side API
• Debugging SOAP clients and services

In order to illustrate the concepts discussed in this chapter we will use an example application called the "Job Resumé Repository System", which allows users to submit and retrieve their resumé.
