| NetBeans IDE & Web Services |
| NetBeans IDE 4.1 provides wizards for generating files and code for the creation and |
| consumption of web services. However, you can /only/ do so in web applications and EJB |
| modules. In the next release there'll be a number of really significant enhancements |
| in this area -- notably that you'll be able to consume web services in Java |
| applications and also directly from a JSP page (i.e., not just from a servlet). Both |
| these enhancements are already present in daily NetBeans IDE Dev builds and Geertjan |
| has blogged about them here: |
| <<a href="http://services.netbeans.org/newsletter/story.php?id=17">http://services.netbeans.org/newsletter/story.php?id=17</a>> |
