Service-Oriented Architectures and Web Services: Course Tutorial Notes

This document presents a number of quick-step instructions to get started on writing mini-service-oriented web services-based applications using NetBeans 6.9.1, Tomcat 6, GlassFish 3.0.1, and Java 1.6 primarily in Scientific Linux 5.8. While the tutorial notes are oriented towards the students taking the SOEN691A course on service-oriented architectures (SOA) at Computer Science and Software Engineering (CSE) Department, Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science (ENCS), other may find some of it useful as well outside of CSE or Concordia. The notes are compiled mostly based on the students' needs and feedback.
