Scout/Tutorial/3.7/Webservices with JAX-WS

Abstract

This tutorial is a guide to developing JAX-WS webservices in Eclipse Scout. JAX-WS stands for Java API for XML Web Services. The JAX-WS version supported by Eclipse Scout is JAX-WS RI 2.1.6 bundled with Java SE 6. We are not using the lastest version (such as JAX-WS RI 2.2.5 because we encountered a lot of problems in having a never version aside the Java built-in internal JAX-WS RI 2.1.6 implementation.

The scope of this tutorial is to create a simple Scout application with a webservice consumer and a webservice provider installed. The application will load company data from a Derby database and allow the user to request a company's stock price with a 20 minute delay from the public StockQuoteService. Also, a webservice will be published to access the application's company data from within another application.
