Providing Web Services

You can provide Web services using any of the two approaches:

• Inside-out

  You start from an implementation which is already available and expose it as a Web service. You create a Web service from a session Enterprise Java Bean or from a pure Java class.

  This approach is also called bottom-up .

• Outside-in

  You start from a WSDL document of a service. In this case, the framework generates the skeleton of the implementation bean and you have to provide your own implementation of the business methods. You can create outside in Web services in session Enterprise Java Beans.

  This approach is also called top-down .
