Java Web Services: Integrating Web Services with a Database

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. SOAP-based web services for Java applications offer a standardized and scalable means to communicate with external applications. In this course, you'll build a SOAP-based web service app for a fictitious book store that will enable client apps to view, add, update, and delete books whose details are stored in a database. Begin by defining a Book class whose instances can be transmitted between applications using the SOAP protocol. Then, integrate a MySQL database with the web services app and load it with data that will be made accessible to client applications using CRUD techniques. Lastly, host your web service application in a production environment by deploying it to an Apache Tomcat web server. When you're done, you'll know how to use the SOAP protocol to enable client apps to interact with a remote database.
