Abstract:
My project's purpose was to web-enable the CEDAR system by implementing a web service on a web server and invoking it with the CEDAR client side program. In order to implement and install a web service into the CEDAR System I gained a fundamental understanding of both web services and the CEDAR System.

I built the web service for CEDAR using Netbeans 5.0. Netbeans has great support and tutorials for web services built into it. Once built the service was deployed to the
Sun Java System Application Server. After successful testing, Dr. Brownsmith and I began the process of connecting the web service to both the client and server sides of the CEDAR System.
