| <p class="intro"> |
| NetBeans IDE supports Web services standards from Java EE 7, Java EE 6 and Java EE 5, including |
| the JAX-WS 2.2, JAX-RS 2.0, and JAXB 2.2 web service standards. You can |
| work with GlassFish Server Open Source Edition, Oracle Weblogic, Apache |
| Tomcat, JBoss, and many more. The code completion functionality |
| includes annotations that you can use in your web services. |

| <h2>RESTful Web Services</h2> |
| <p> |
| The IDE assists you in creating (JAX-RS 2.0) |
| RESTful web services from JPA entity classes and patterns, or even |
| directly from a database. RESTful web services are available to wrap |
| entity beans and provide easy CRUD functionality.<br/><br/> |
| For Java EE 7 and Java EE 6 RESTful web services, the IDE uses JAXB annotations in |
| the entity classes and EJB session facades for the service classes. |
| This removes the need for converter classes and generates simpler code.<br/><br/> |
| You can also use facades for Java EE 5 RESTful web services. |
| The IDE can generate EE 5 RESTful services with JPA Persistence API controller classes |
| instead of generating converter classes.<br/><br/> |

| <h2>SOAP-based Web Services</h2> |
| <p> |
| Use the Web Services wizards and Web Service Visual Designer |
| to create and develop web services from Java classes or WSDL files.<br/><br/> |
| The IDE provides tools to work with Web Service annotations (<a |
| href="http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=181">Web Services Metadata for |
| Java</a>). Java classes annotated with @javax.jws.WebService annotation |
| are automatically recognized as web services in a project. The IDE |
| provides support for the <a href="https://jax-ws.java.net/">JAX-WS |
| 2.2</a> runtime in various features, such as the Visual Designer or Web |
| Service Customization editor. With NetBeans IDE 7.2 the Visual Designer |
| support is extended to Maven projects.<br/><br/> |
| Convert SOAP based web services to RESTful service resources |
| by using the action available in the web service node. Use the Web |
| Service Customization editor to create asynchronous web service |
| clients.<br/><br/> |

| <h2>Web Service Clients</h2> |
| <p> |
| The IDE also supports testing and building client |
| applications that access web services. Generate code for |
| invoking web services (both RESTful and SOAP-based), such as JavaScript |
| client stubs from WADL. You can also generate RESTful Java clients in |
| Java Web and Java applications for services registered with NetBeans |
| IDE. NetBeans IDE comes with several widely used services already |
| registered, such as Flickr and Twitter. <br/><br/> |
| Use the Services tab to easily create server-side mash-up |
| applications, and add services from their web service descriptor files |
| (WSDL or WADL). Drag and drop service operations into a POJO, Servlet, |
| JSP, JSF, or PHP page, and the IDE will generate the access code.<br/><br/> |

| APIs provided by Google, Facebook, Yahoo, flickr, Amazon, Twitter and |
| many more. You can also access SOAP-based web services, e.g. |
| StrikeIron. |

| in GlassFish to help you build interoperable, transactional, |
| reliable, and secure web services.<br/><br/> |
