Book overview
Web Services are self-describing, modular
applications. The Web Services architecture can be thought of as
a wrapper for the application code. This wrapper provides
standardized means of: describing the Web Service and what it
does; publishing it to a registry, so that it can easily be
located; and exposing an interface, so that the service can be
invoked – all in a machine-readable format. What is
particularly compelling about Web Services is that any client
that understands XML, regardless of platform, language and object
model, can access them.
This book provides a snapshot of the current
state of these rapidly evolving technologies, beginning by
detailing the main protocols that underpin the Web Services model
(SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI), and then putting this theory to practical
use in a wide array of popular toolkits, platforms, and
development environments.
The technologies presented in this book provide
the foundations of Web Services computing, which is set to
revolutionize Distributed Computing, as we know it.
Who is this book for?
This book is for developers wanting to learn what
web services are, and how to create, register, and deploy them.
In teaching the core technologies, we assume knowledge of XML
from the outset.
