5
What is a Web Service? “A programmable application component accessible via standard Web protocols” ? ?
6
Web Services Benefits Allows for sharing of functionality across: Devices Networks Operating Systems Programming languages Built using open Internet standards XML, SOAP, UDDI, WSDL
7
The Potential of Web Services “ Web Services will revolutionise how we work - how we interact with each other, with companies, with websites and beyond. A world of seamlessly connected applications awaits.” Silicon.com “With Web services, it’s easy for us to build a tool that takes route information and displays it on the Web in a number of different formats, including a schematic layout that tells you not only where the bus is, but also where it has been.” Massachusetts Institute of Technology Applied Implications of Web Services “We’ve proven that the promise of XML Web services is real. You can develop a service that can be exposed across multiple media formats, and not have to write an application for each platform to render it for each medium. This has incredible implications…” GlaxoSmithKline

Web Services in.NET.NET Framework designed with distributed computing in mind Web services support loosely-coupled distributed computing Creating Web services in.NET is easy! Based on open standards Cross-platform Simple to create, design and test Human readable messages

XML XML is the core of Web Services Provides platform independent data interchange The format of all administrative data used by web services Verbose and Human readable Highly extensible UDDIUDDI WSDLWSDL SOAPSOAP XMLXML

17
SOAP Simple Object Access Protocol The primary communications interface between Web services Language and OS independent Protocol independent Not reliant on HTTP for transfer Can be encrypted by nature of the transport method used UDDIUDDI WSDLWSDL SOAPSOAP XMLXML

19
WSDL Web Services Description Language Describes what services a web service can be provide Analogous to ‘reflection’ Gives a detailed “contract” for each service provided Contract specifies what interfaces are exposed UDDIUDDI WSDLWSDL SOAPSOAP XMLXML

WSDL Proxy Class Generation
21
UDDI Universal Description Discovery and Integration An industry-wide project to standardize the discovery of web services A data model and API specification Details on providers and their services Both XML and non-XML services Publish, Find & Bind Operations An example UDDI registry can be found at www.xmethods.com UDDIUDDI WSDLWSDL SOAPSOAP XMLXML

Applications of GXA Suitable for secure of high-performance architectures Used for Grid Computing Super Computing Outsourcing Internet-scale DataGrid GXA is aligning with OGSA (Open Grid Services Architecture) Co-evolution of MS GXA and GGF OGSA
25
Summary Industry is widely adopting and supporting Web services Not just a Microsoft initiative XML Web services provide open, Internet- native integration Fundamental shift: distributed computing for the Internet Visual Studio.NET makes creating powerful Web service-driven applications simple
