How to write web services with Java

Question

I usually write my web services using PHP + Mysql, in a simplified way: reading the POST/GET params, connecting to the MySQL database and finally printing a JSON.

I'd like to check how to do this with a Java server, I've never programmed Java web servers and I'd like to know what should I study to learn to do it

Thanks

That does not even mention different web services architectures. — Abs, Jan 23 '14 at 19:00

I wanna suggest you garner understanding of the two main WebServices Architectures then decide which ones suit your case/use best

REST (GET,PUT,POST,DELETE,PATCH) JAX-RS

http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/tutorial/doc/giepu.html

vs SOAP bases JAX-WS

http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/5/tutorial/doc/bnayn.html

I'm supposing here that you have a good understand of java programming.

Fisrtly, I think you should understand java for web. I recommend this book:

Head First Servlets and JSP http://www.amazon.com/Head-First-Servlets-JSP-Certified/dp/0596516681/

Then you can learn web services with java:

Java Web Services: Up and Running http://www.amazon.com/Java-Web-Services-Up-Running/dp/1449365116

Of course, there are many tutorials over the internet as well, but books give you a lot of background information.
