Developing Web Service Applications

You can publish as Web service operations the public methods of any class that contains a no-argument constructor. Also, methods that correspond to document-style operations, must return an org.w3c.dom.Document . You can find documentation for these classes at http://xml.apache.org/axis , and http://www.w3.org respectively.

• “Providing a Web Service”
