Struts meets Swing (2)
Keld Hansen shows how the servlet interface, which is normally used from a browser, can also be used from other clients, for example a Swing client.

Struts meets Swing (1)
Most Struts applications use a browser as the client, but the framework is actually open enough to allow other client types. In this first article of two, Keld Hansen takes the browser application from a previous article and connects a Swing client to — with only a few changes to the code in the original browser application.

Java Web Services
Java Web Services shows you how to use SOAP to perform remote method calls and message passing; how to use WSDL to describe the interface to a web service or understand the interface of someone else’s service; and how to use UDDI to advertise (publish) and look up services in each local or global registry. From O’Reilly & Associates, Inc.

Web Services with Axis
An introduction to web services for those of you who think that web services are only for computer nerds. They’re not. If you think otherwise it might be because of the many difficult-to-read articles that have tried to address the subject, often in very technical terms. Web services are nothing but two programs interchanging data on the Internet–or an intranet–in the XML-based format called SOAP.
