Základní info
The Developing Secure Java(TM) Web Services course provides business component and client developers with the information they need to design, implement, deploy, and maintain secure web services and web service clients using Java technology components and the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 6 (Java EE 6 platform). Students learn about the need to secure web services and the challenges associated with web services security. Students also learn about prominent industry standards and initiatives developed to provide comprehensive security solutions for web services, and how to apply them to secure web services. In particular, students learn how to secure web services by using application-layer security, transport-layer security, and message-layer security technologies, such as those specified by the WS-* security extensions. Students learn how to secure web services by using the web services security infrastructure built into JavaEE 6 and Glassfish v3 (using Metro 1.2), along with the security providers in Sun Java(TM) System Access Manager 7.1. This comprehensive course also introduces identity management concepts, drivers behind identity management solutions, and Sun Java(TM) System Access Manager functions. Students perform the course lab exercises by using the NetBeans(TM) Integrated Development Environment (IDE), Metro 1.2, Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1 (or OpenSSO), and GlassFish v3.
