About
Java Web services are implemented according to the JSR 109: Implementing Enterprise Web Services specification, which defines the standard Java EE runtime architecture for implementing Web services in Java (JWS).
The JSR 109 describes that a Java EE Web service is implemented by one of the following components:
- A Java class running in the Web container.
- A stateless session EJB running in the EJB container.
The code in the Java class or EJB implements the business logic of your Web service.

Methods
Web services can be created using two methods:
- top-down development from a WSDL file.
- and bottom-up development from a Java bean or enterprise bean.
Bottom-Up
Java API
Standards-based Java API for coding, assembling, and deploying Java Web services:
JAX-WS is a follow up to JAX-RPC (an older specification)
Security
The WS-Security specification lets you configure advanced features of Web services using WS-Policy files.
A WS-Policy file is an XML file that contains:
- security-specific
- or Web service reliable messaging-specific XML elements
that describe the security and reliable-messaging configuration, respectively.
For information about the WS-Policy specification, see Web Services Policy Framework (WS-Policy) 1.5 and 1.2.
Tools
The following Oracle IDE tools are available to build Web services:
