A Java EJB SOAP Starter Kit
It is quite common to find Java behind many of the leading SOAP Web Services available on the 'Net today. Java is also the language of choice for developing back-end server processes. But what about putting the two together? Marcus Zarra walks though the setup for a basic SOAP service which talks directly to an EJB application.
Access Web services from wireless devices
The Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) has become the most
important data exchange protocol for XML Web services. All Web
services applications must support SOAP. In this article,
Michael Juntao Yuan introduces an essential tool to support Web
services on small wireless devices - the kSOAP parser. As he
illustrates through examples, kSOAP is a powerful tool for
composing and extracting Java data objects to and from SOAP
messages. kSOAP is also flexible and lets users add custom
functionalities through its own APIs or by directly modifying
the source code.
Clean up your wire protocol with SOAP, Part 1
An introduction to the basics of SOAP. SOAP is not just another

in a series of four, introduces you to the basics of SOAP.
Clean up your wire protocol with SOAP, Part 2
In Part 2 of this four-part series on SOAP, Tarak Modi will introduce you to Apache's SOAP implementation and walk you through some simple examples that demonstrate the essence of creating SOAP-based applications.
Clean up your wire protocol with SOAP, Part 3
As you've learned from Parts 1 and 2 of this four-part series on SOAP, creating SOAP services is easy. In Part 3, Tarak Modi shows you an even simpler way to create SOAP services using Apache SOAP and JavaScript.
Clean up your wire protocol with SOAP, Part 4
So, in this fourth and final installment presents a framework based on the dynamic proxy classes in the Java 2 Platform, Version 1.3. This framework will make creating SOAP clients just as easy and intuitive as creating SOAP services.
Getting REST and SOAP to Share Each Other's Toys
Convincing your colleagues and clients to consider a RESTful approach to SOA is difficult when the accepted standard is SOAP-style services. In this article, Jason R. Briggs introduces a SOAP interface that can be used to deliver SOAP messages from REST resources.
