Hi Forum,

I am totally confused with the terminology and the standards, please help me understand.

I was searching on the net about how to create a web service in Java and I read a lot of docs about this and picked up words like SAX, JAX ...

My questions are:

1. What is SAX, JAX, DOM and which one is the latest, which one shall I use?

2. What is WSDP and how does it help witting web services in Java? is there any other way than WSDP.

3. What is the difference between WSDP and WSDL?

4. What is the difference between RPC and SOAP and what to use or which one is the latest?

5. Finally how to write a web service in Java?

I know each of this question has a book long answer but I would appreciate if someone could please give a little explanation and also clear which standard is the latest one so that I can start reading about it.

If possible please help me understand the last question.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
Ravi
