BEA WebLogic Platform provides the tools and infrastructure
you need to build and deploy enterprise-class Web services
based on standard technologies, including XML, HTTP, SOAP,
and WSDL. WebLogic Workshop is a visual development environment
for building Web services that's both simple enough for the
application developer and powerful enough for the J2EE expert.
WebLogic Server provides utilities for building Web services
for J2EE developers who prefer to handle the implementation
details themselves. As the industry's leading application
server, WebLogic Server offers a powerful and reliable framework
for deploying Web services.

WebLogic Workshop is a visual development environment
for building enterprise-class Web services quickly and
easily, whether you are a beginning Java developer or
a J2EE expert. You can design Web services by adding
controls, setting properties, and writing code to handle
events. WebLogic Workshop's controls provide straightforward
access to enterprise resources like databases, Enterprise
JavaBeans, JMS topics and queues, other Web services,
and enterprise applications. You can test your Web services
using the WebLogic Workshop integrated test utility,
and deploy them to a WebLogic Server in your organization.
To build a working Web service with WebLogic Workshop,
work through the WebLogic
Workshop tutorial.

If you are familiar with J2EE and prefer a more hands-on approach to
developing WebLogic Web services, you can use the Ant tasks included in
WebLogic Server to develop Web services based on a variety of backend
components, such as stateless session EJBs, Java classes, and JMS
destinations. These WebLogic Server Web services offer:
- A complete development and deployment environment for WebLogic Server.
- Full support for SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI standards.
- Excellent support for cross-vendor interoperability, especially .NET.
- Full compliance with Java Web service standards (JAX-RPC).
- Support for deploying Web services in standard J2EE applications
packaged as EAR files.
- Automatic data type mapping between XML and Java.
- SOAP message handlers to access the request and response SOAP
messages.
- Connection oriented point-to-point sercurity for WebLogic Web service
operations, as well as authorization and authentication.
- A standalone thin client for accessing both WebLogic and
non-WebLogic Web services.
