Java™ Web Services Unleashed

Basic Steps

1.	Create a connection. This encapsulates the message transport.
2.	Create an endpoint. An endpoint represents a service. They describe the ultimate destination of a message.
3.	Create a message factory. This is a simple factory-pattern object. Message factories create empty message templates that implement different profiles.
4.	Construct a request message requesting a service. The application populates the message template with relevant data, using interfaces the profile implements.
5.	Send the request message to its destination; synchronously ...
