- 3. What are web services? Web Services can convert your application into a Web application which can publish its function or message to the rest of the world. The basic Web Services platform is XML + HTTP A application which run on web (Internet or Intranet) and provides generic services The services provided are through the web and in a standardized format which makes it generic and independent on the platform or the protocol on which the service was requested. Web services are open standard ( XML, SOAP, HTTP etc.) based Web applications that interact with other web applications for the purpose of exchanging data
- 6. Types of Webservices β’ There are two types of Webservices β’ SOAP (JAX-WS , Java API for XML Web Services) β’ REST (JAX-RS, Java API for RESTful Web Services)
- 7. Why Web services ? β’ Exposing the existing function on to network β’ Connecting Different Applications i.e. Interoperability β’ Low Cost of communication β’ Standardized Protocol
- 8. Architecture
- 9. Web service roles β’ There are three major roles within the web service architecture β’ Service provider: This is the provider of the web service. The service provider implements the service and makes it available on the Internet. β’ Service requestor: This is any consumer of the web service. The requestor utilizes an existing web service by opening a network connection and sending an XML request. β’ Service registry: This is a logically centralized directory of services. The registry provides a central place where developers can publish new services or find existing ones.
- 10. Web Service protocol stack
- 11. Protocol stack cont⦠⒠Service transport: This layer is responsible for transporting messages between applications. Currently, this layer includes hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP), Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), file transfer protocol (FTP), and newer protocols, such as Blocks Extensible Exchange Protocol (BEEP). ⒠XML messaging: This layer is responsible for encoding messages in a common XML format so that messages can be understood at either end. Currently, this layer includes XML-RPC and SOAP. ⒠Service description: This layer is responsible for describing the public interface to a specific web service. Currently, service description is handled via the Web Service Description Language (WSDL). ⒠Service discovery: This layer is responsible for centralizing services into a common registry, and providing easy publish/find functionality. Currently, service discovery is handled via Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI).
