elements contained in a WSDL file |
| Describe the role of extensibility elements used in a WSDL file |
| Compare the use of WSDL in document-style and remote procedure call
(RPC)-style services |

web service client |
| Compare the two development approaches supported by JAX-RPC for creating
web services and service clients |
