If you are interested in developing Web Services, you will be interested in the Java Web Services Developer Pack (version 1.0ea1) that was just released by Sun:
http://java.sun.com/webservices The Java WSDP includes early releases of base XML technology: JAXP 1.2 (with schema support), SOAP-based RPC (JAX-RPC), SOAP-based messaging (JAXM), and registry client support (JAXR). Although this is an EA1 release of the product we are targeting for this summer, we also include a tutorial as well as a number of development features to help you get up and running quickly, including building tools (Apache's Ant), a UDDI based registry server for testing, some management tools (more in later EAs). We also include a version of Apache Tomcat so develoeprs can start using the JWSDP right away. All of these technologies depend on J2EE 1.3 APIs. (And, of course, it runs Struts based apps just fine and dandy also :-) Craig McClanahan -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
