Abstract:
IBM® WebSphere® Application Server Version 8.0 Beta includes support for the Java™ API for XML-Based Web Services (JAX-WS) 2.2 and Java API for RESTful Web Services (JAX-RS) 1.1 specifications. JAX-WS 2.2 is a maintenance release of Java Specification Request (JSR) 224 that extends the functionality provided by the JAX-WS 2.1 specification with new capabilities. The most significant new capability is support for the Web Services Addressing (WS-Addressing) Metadata specification in the Application Programming Interface (API). JAX-RS, also known as JSR 311, is a collection of interfaces and Java annotations that simplifies development of server-side REST applications. In this session the speaker will provide an overview of both these technologies including details of the new features in the Beta.
