Integrating the Pet shop with other agents

This sample makes use of the standard pet shop application which ships with J2EE. The pet shop functionality has been implemented using a set of Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs).

The pet store company acts as a wholesale distributor, and would like to integrate with other smaller pet stores. The relevant funtionality  will be exposed as a Web service. The agents will like to check stocks, place orders etc. by calling the relevant Web services.

 All the necessary functionality is available in the EJBs. We need to expose the relevant functionalities via a WS API.
