Product Description
JAX: Java APIs for XML Kick Start covers the JAX APIs – fundamental for development of Java-based Web service applications as well as other e-Commerce applications requiring the exchange and manipulation of data. The book includes an overview of Web service fundamentals including SOAP, UDDI, and WSDL, all of which will be built upon in later examples. The book then covers the current set of JAX APIs for data processing, for messaging, for writing data to registries and for calling remote applications.

Each API is covered from an architectural and implementation perspective, using real-world examples and case studies throughout to illustrate their usefulness. The author will demonstrate both Web service and traditional JAX applications, giving a complete picture of the uses of JAX. The final chapter looks ahead to new developments and new APIs in progress at Sun.

JAX: Java APIs for XML Kick Start

Product Description
You know how to build Web service applications using XML, SOAP, and WSDL, but can you ensure that those applications are secure? Standards development groups such as OASIS and W3C have released several specifications designed to provide security – but how do you combine them in working applications?

“Securing Web Services with WS-Security” will help you take your Web services securely to production, with insight into the latest security standards including

- WS-Security, a model that defines how to put security specifications into practice
- XML Encryption to ensure confidentiality
- XML Signature to ensure data integrity
- Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) to authenticate and authorize users
- WS-Policy to set policies across trust domains

Jothy Rosenberg and David Remy, both business, technology, and security visionaries, demystify these standards with practical examples including a fully developed case study application showing these tools at work. A pragmatic approach is taken showing which Web Services Security standards are needed when faced with a variety of security challenges. The authors understand that security remains one of the largest remaining impediments to deploying major Web services in business-critical situations. The goal of this book is to begin to remove those impediments by providing a detailed understanding of all the available security technologies and how and when to employ them.

Securing Web Services with WS-Security: Demystifying WS-Security, WS-Policy, SAML, XML Signature, and XML Encryption

Product Description

Sams Teach Yourself XML in 21 Days, written by expert author Steve Holzner, offers hundreds of real-world examples demonstrating the uses of XML and the newest tools developers need to make the most of it. In Week One, he starts from basic syntax, and discusses XML document structure, document types, and the benefits of XML Schema. Week Two covers formatting using either CSS or the Extensible Sytlesheet Language, and working with XHTML and other tools for presenting XML data on the Web, or in multimedia applications. The final chapter of week two discusses XForms, the newest way to process forms in XML applications. Week Three applies XML to programming with Java, .NET or JavaScript, and building XML into database or Web Service applications with SOAP. Along the way, Steve shows readers the results of every lesson and provides both the “how” and “why” of the inner working of XML technologies.

Helps Enterprises Realize the Vision of SOA

To ease the development of Web Services applications, BPEL Maestro 1.5 allows enterprises and system integrators to create Web service business processes using a simple flexible GUI. Companies will be able to deploy their Web service business applications faster with few resources. Complex Web Service applications, such as adjusting business processes and associated data integration, can be quickly changed.

“BPEL processes need to be executed by a runtime engine that supports a number of requirements, including native support for Web service standards as well as asynchronous messaging, process persistence, and transactional models consistent with long-term processes,” Jim Clune, director of WS Technology for Parasoft.” Parasoft BPEL Maestro satisfies these requirements by offering a unique set of technologies, and gives companies unprecedented ease-of-use and flexibility when it comes to driving Web Services business processes.”

About Parasoft BPEL Maestro

Parasoft BPEL Maestro 1.5 is a 100 percent native BPEL integration platform. Based on participation and contribution to many of the web and Web Services standards bodies (e.g. WS-I and OASIS), it contains a BPEL engine and toolkit built from the ground up to strictly adhere to Web Services standards. Features include:

• Asynchronous messaging via both JMS and SOAP/HTTP with WS-Addressing.
• Process persistence through a standard RDBMS.
• Scalability through automatic dehydration of process instances into persistent storage.
• Transactional integrity through both a short-term atomic transactional model and a long-running compensation-based model.
• Application level correlation of messages in extended, stateful conversations.
• Full-featured toolkit in the Eclipse development environment for developing, debugging, and managing BPEL processes.
• Web Service standards as basis, including BPEL, WSDL, SOAP, XML, HTTP, JMS and WS-Addressing.

“Enterprises using Web Services need not only flawless execution of complex business processes but also to reduce the time and effort to deploy those processes,” said Wayne Ariola, Vice President of Corporate Development for Parasoft Corporation. ” Parasoft BPEL Maestro 1.5 increases development productivity by providing enterprises with a fast, flexible and cost effective way to implement robust and secure Web Services utilizing industry accepted standards.”

Availability
Parasoft BPEL Maestro is available for Linux, Windows XP/2000 and Solaris.
