RPCs (remote procedure calls) are what came before the current Web services based on REST (Representational State Transfer) and SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol). Java’s Web services APIs are built on top of the RPC concept, so understanding JAX-RPC (Java APIs for XML-Based RPC) is essential for writing effective and efficient Web services in Java. This free tutorial will step you through JAX-RPC installation and configuration as well as the creation of a simple client application and server-side RPC receiver.
