Cretaing web services using Eclipse

[zigzagdna]

I have downloads ECLIPSE IDE for JAVA EE Developers - version 4.2 x64 for Window s64

I have installed jdk 1.7 which I downloaded from Oracle's web site

I am going to download Apache Tomcat 7.x also.

My questions are:

a. Do I need jdk 1.7 for EE or SE will do. I do not know what is the difference. All I am interested is in developing Aix 2 web services which will be hosted in Apache Tom Cat.

b. I do not know the difference in Java EE and SE as for as Web Services are concerned. I am not interested in HTML 5, Java FX etc.

I will not be creating any app servers, will not use multi-tiered java applications.

All I will be doing is developing web services using Elipse Java IDE EE which will be installaed in Apacahe Tomact 2. I preusme Java IDE Ee alreday has Axis 2, elase I will hav eto install that as well.

JDK is Java SE. It is the basis for all Java EE products, such as Glassfish and
Tomcat. Java EE is not a product by itself, but a set of specifications.

difference. All I am interested is in developing Aix 2 web services which

The difference is explained on the Oracle website.

Java SE is a product. Java EE is a set of specifications which various
products might implement, build on top of Java.

b. I do not know the difference in Java EE and SE as for as Web Services are concerned. I am not interested in HTML 5, Java FX etc.

Again, read the documentation.

Did you?

What parts of it were not clear?
