How to implement web services in java

Question

I'm actually working on a website project. I'm new with web services. I have 4 years experience in object oriented programming (java, c#, ...). I have read a lot on web services but none of my documentations are telling how to use all the technologies to make a real web service project.

What I want to do is: 1. Use a MySQL backend mapped with JPA in Java; 2. Use web services to present some functionalities with ... (JBoss, ... there is to much possibilities, I do not know which I should choose) 3. Create a dynamic web project (maybe in Jsp to keep the Java perspective) to present web service data to the end-user with HTML, Javascript, jQuery, ...

If you can help me with documentations, links or real project implementation samples, it will be greatly appriciated.

Thanks

Anything except Axis 2. I would personally go for Apache CXF or JAX-WS RI. Check these previous questions: stackoverflow.com/questions/442582/…, stackoverflow.com/questions/3588616/…, stackoverflow.com/questions/2062347/…, — Pascal Thivent

@Pascal: what's wrong with Axis2? I was planning on getting started with Java Web Services with Axis2... — ssahmed555

@ssahmed555 I gave some reasons in the second link of my comment. Just google a bit or browse SO for more opinions (see for example see stackoverflow.com/questions/289977/…). To sum up, you'll never see me recommending Axis 2 and I will never use it again (unless forced but this shouldn't happen), there are much better, cleaner, easier to use, etc WS stacks. But some people like pain :) — Pascal Thivent

Check this. for beginner

I would suggest go for Spring Web Services from your env. It would be better

The question was more around which technologies to use creating webservices in Java. I already know how to create/manage webservices in Java... do you have any clues ? JBoss with CXF, Axis, ...?

@dutertimes: Java has two standards for web services: JAX-WS for SOAP web services and JAX-RS for REST web services. Each of these have several implementations... Spring Web Services and Apache CXF support both standards.

@R.Bemrose Spring WS doesn't implement neither JAX-WS nor JAX-RS. Spring WS is a very minimalistic WS stack.

@Pascal: So... should I use Spring WS for my described project or is it too "Simple" for it? I don't know anything about Spring

@dutertimes It might do the job but I'm not fan personally and, as I wrote in my initial comment to your question, I would personally go for Apache CXF or JAX-WS RI.

I have found something interesting using spring web services with eclipse that I will use with my project at this link: Sprint Web service tutorial with Eclipse
