INTRODUCTION
The days of J2EE are behind us and—as of March 15, 2011—the Java EE 7 specification has full JSR support.
That makes it about time to see just how far the Java specification and the tools that support the spec have come
with regards to the development of Web services.
Since the new NetBeans 7 is currently available for download, I figured I’d give it a download and do a quick
install. I should also mention that I have almost no experience with NetBeans, being an Eclipse and Rational
Application Developer aficionado for the past five or six years, so I’m definitely not expecting any smooth sailing.
Web services background
Web services were always floating around in the background and we were always pushed towards building a
"service-oriented architecture." But most of my work with developing Web services involved simply creating
Stateless Session EJBs using WebSphere Studio Application Developer and then clicking a wizard or two that
would generate all sorts of magical WSDL and other XML files that made them invokable by a client application
somewhere.
Once installed, the File > New Project option just screamed out to me, and it was pretty obvious that I wanted
to create a new "Enterprise Application."
