Web Services Essentials
Web Services make it possible for diverse applications to discover each other and exchange data seamlessly via the Internet. For instance, programs written in Java and running on Solaris can find and call code written in C# that run on Windows XP, or programs written in Perl that run on Linux, without any concern about the details of how that service is implemented. A common set of Web Services is at the core of Microsoft's new .NET strategy, Sun Microsystems's Sun One Platform, and the W3C's XML Protocol Activity Group. In this book, author Ethan Cerami explores four key emerging technologies: XML Remote Procedure Calls (XML-RPC) · SOAP - The foundation for most commercial Web Services development · Universal Discovery, Description and Integration (UDDI); and · Web Services Description Language (WSDL). For each of these topics, Web Services Essentials provides a quick overview, Java tutorials with sample code, and samples of the XML documents.
