ABOUT THE SPEAKER André Tost works as a solution architect in IBM’s Software Group, where he focuses on SOA and Web services technology. He primarily engages with IBM’s strategic business partners to enable them for J2EE and Web services. Before his current assignment, he spent many years in various IBM product development groups. SESSION DESCRIPTION This session will present a collection of programming tips and tricks related to consuming and providing Web services in Java. This collection has been created by a number of developers and consultants and is the result of many real-life project experiences. We will focus on implementation aspects for Web services and not go into any detail on architecture or conceptual issues. In other words, these are the problems that developers face once they have started coding.
