Webservices & java web component?

Question

what exactly is meant by Java components ??

does this looks good if I say that I am responsible to develop, test and maintain Web Services and Java components using JAX-WS & JAXB APIs.??

or should i write something else ??

Answer 1

You usually find the term Java Components when working on libraries of similar functions to create a control or some item that you would plug into other applications. For instance the Swing library (where you have JLabel, JOptionPane, JFrame etc) are each said to be a component in the library of Swing. They are cohesive units of code that act as an item. A web component might be a custom control you created or a new interface item you designed to give your application a certain look and feel.

If you have to ask what a Java component is, you might not want to say you have that as a responsibility since they may ask you more about them. I would say you know web services (if you do) and what technologies you have used in the past.
