About This Document

Intended Audience

This guide describes the basic concept of a web service, and enables a developer, who programs for the Java EE platform, to create web services without prior knowledge. The document is intended for developers who are developing, deploying, and maintaining web service applications in a JEUS web or JEUS EJB container.

Required Knowledge

To fully understand this guide, users should have the following knowledge.

It is recommended to read the following guides in order to understand the basic usage of JEUS.

All examples and environment configurations are written according to the UNIX style. Hence, a few considerations must be given when working in a non-UNIX environment such as Microsoft Windows™ (hereafter Windows).

For example, for path delimiters, the UNIX style "/" must be changed to the Windows style, "\". As well, the environment variables must be changed to the Windows style, (%%). JEUS_HOME, which is specified in this guide, is the directory in which JEUS is installed.

Document Scope

Since this guide does not contain information about Java EE or Java EE EJB specifications, refer to relevant Java documents for more information.

Note

XML files related to the source files can be found in the samples directory after installing JEUS.

Document Organization

This guide consists of 27 chapters.
