Java Developer Center: Trading API

Use Java or JSP to make direct Trading API calls. The Java SDK provides you with APIs to make coding easier. We are currently migrating the AXIS-based Java SDK to a JAX-WS-based SDK. Please migrate your Java code as needed, since we will only provide the JAX-WS-based SDK after the Java SDK 595 Full Release.
