Advanced Protocols 2004 Just-in-time Integration Network services can be integrated dynamically, on an as-needed basis. SunMicro’s jini is a framework that supports the idea. Network services are registered with a service registry; a service consumer/client looks up the registry to fulfill its needs. The binding of a client to the service can occur at runtime.

Advanced Protocols 2004 Summary SOAP is a protocol that makes use of HTTP requests and responses to effect remote method calls to webservices A SOAP method call is encoded in XML and is embedded in an HTTP request A number of SOAP APIs are available for programming web services but apache was first introduced.
