SOAP/Database

[shams jawaid <sh...@hotmail.com>]

Hi, 
 
I have a quick but urgent question. I have a java web service, that communicates with a mysql server, to query and update the database. When the java web service communicates with the mysql database, is it sending a SOAP request to the mysql database? i have jdbc configured, so is it purely a jdbc request to the database? I am trying to understand the communication between a java web service and a database server.
 
Thanks

Hi,

Your question is not very clear to me. But if your looking to expose a
database as a web service then you could have a look at the WSO2 Web
Services Application Server (WSAS) which is available under the Apache
licence and is built on top of Axis2. It has a cool feature called Data
Services which helps you expose a database as a web service by just
configuring via a simple config language. You can find details of WSAS at
[1] and specifically about data services at [2]

Thanks,
Keith.

To use a database from Java, learn JDBC.  It matters not what you're
calling it from, a web service, a Swing GUI, or anything else.

When the java web service communicates with the mysql database, is it

is it purely a jdbc request to the database? I am trying to understand
the communication between a java web service and a database server.
