Spring Web Services

Recently, there has been a shift in Web service development towards document-driven Web services. Rather than expose Java classes using RPC exporters, we are seeing Web services emerge which centralize around the Web service message.

Spring Web services (Spring-WS) is a new product from the Spring community that aims to help developing these document-driven Web services. In this talk, we will describe the difference between RPC and document-driven Web services. Additionally, we will talk about the value of:

  • Validating requests and responses
  • SOAP vs. REST
  • XML Marshalling
  • Using XPath for data binding

Throughout the entire talk we will show how to implement these concepts using Spring-WS.
