The Java Web Services Tutorial

Building Web Services with JAX-WS

JAX-WS stands for Java API for XML Web Services. JAX-WS is a technology for building web services and clients that communicate using XML. JAX-WS allows developers to write message-oriented as well as RPC-oriented web services. In JAX-WS, a remote procedure call is represented by an XML-based protocol such as SOAP. The SOAP specification defines the envelope structure, encoding rules, and conventions for representing remote procedure calls and responses. These calls and responses are transmitted as SOAP messages (XML files) over HTTP.

Although SOAP messages are complex, the JAX-WS API hides this complexity from the application developer. On the server side, the developer specifies the remote procedures by defining methods in an interface written in the Java programming language. The developer also codes one or more classes that implement those methods. Client programs are also easy to code. A client creates a proxy (a local object representing the service) and then simply invokes methods on the proxy. With JAX-WS, the developer does not generate or parse SOAP messages. It is the JAX-WS runtime system that converts the API calls and responses to and from SOAP messages.

Diet Nutrition Guide

BASIC FOOD GROUPS CHART
Nutritional goals for individuals who have had ostomy or related surgeries require some adaptation of dietary information provided for the general public. Specifics of adaptation depend on the type of ostomy and its management. Ostomy nutritional guidelines provide a base of knowledge for selection of a personalized dietary plan and sound nutritional advice for good eating habits. The American Dietetic Association recommends the following food categories and servings. Consider the following recommendations for a healthy diet for ostomates:

Digestion

Digestion begins in the mouth when food is broken down by chewing and mixed with ptyalin, a digestive enzyme in saliva. In the stomach, food is mixed with gastric juices into a semi-liquid state. The stomach has two valves which help regulate emptying into the small intestine. The small intestine is approximately 21 feet long. Bile and pancreatic enzymes, along with small intestine enzymes, break food down so it can be absorbed and used for energy. The digestion process usually takes two to six hours to complete through the small intestine.

Home Depot’s Vendor Routing Guide

A little bit of history

Routing guides first surfaced when retail chains began to broaden their geographic reach through more locations, and simultaneously increased the variety of products they offered within their stores. This increase of stores and vendors created a logistical challenge as product needed to be efficiently routed to various locations but was shipped, labeled, and packed in an infinite variety of ways. Think Walmart.

Imagine how many different vendors they must coordinate with to stock the shelves of a single store. Then imagine adding hundreds, then thousands, of stores. It is easy to realize that product needs to be delivered to stores and distribution centers in a uniform manner – packaged, labeled, and shipped the same – no matter who the vendor is.

To achieve this uniformity, retailers created a document for vendors that details how they want product to arrive. And the routing guide was born.

Water-Efficient Landscaping

What is Water-efficient Landscaping?

Water, many agree, is our most precious natural resource; without it, life ceases. Yet judging by our water use and consumption practices, many of us in the United States seem to take it for granted. A typical household uses approximately 260 gallons of water per day. “Water conscious” individuals often install high-efficiency shower heads and toilets and wash only full loads of clothes and dishes to reduce consumption. But in the summer, the amount of water used outdoors by a household can exceed the amount used for all other purposes in the entire year. This is especially true in hot, dry climates.

Digital Photography Tips

Taking photographs of animals
Animal photography is challenging because it’s difficult to get your subjects to do what you’d like them to do. Sure, a well-trained dog is more likely to sit or stay than your average hamster, but even Lassie doesn’t follow directions as well as your average human. But by following just a few helpful tips, you can take animal photographs that say a lot more about your pet than, “Gosh, he’s sure blurry!”

Get ready to say cheese
A lot of animals, whether they are house pets or barnyard creatures, don’t like cameras. Perhaps it’s something to do with the size or the shape of the camera that frightens many animals. Add in the loud click of a shutter and the bright light of a flash, and you can seriously spook some animals. The end result is a blurry, out-of-focus shot.
Many household pets can be trained to get used to cameras. Let your pet sniff or smell the camera when you’re not using it, and give them special treats every time you take their picture.
He might be a cute cat, but this picture is blurry. This could have been eliminated with the use of the camera’s flash.
