  1. All Web Services are !=But Some are more != than Others Looking under the hood at two very different Web Service Frameworks. Ron Kleinman Chief Vertical Evangelist Sun Microsystems

  2. What exactly IS a Web Service? XML Commands Component XML Responses

  3. HTML: Presentation <b> Mr. John Jones 1234 </b> XML : Interpretation <employee> <name title = “Mr.”> <first> John </first> <last> Jones </last> </name> <ID> 1234 </ID> </employee> A 1-Slide XML Primer

  4. XML Message Exchanges:Minimize Assumptions about Partner • Hardware run on • Operating System run under • API / Language written in (OO?) • Middleware Architecture deployed • Physical Connection

  5. Heterogeneous Interoperability Sender Java On Solaris DOM Parser XML Messages Receiver C++ On Windows SAX Parser

  6. A XML B Two Modes of XML Use Use XML to marshal arguments of a Remote Procedure Call Use XML to define a Business Document

  7. Two Types of PartnersTwo Types of Infrastructure • [INT] Common Client/Service ownership • Same Security / Naming management • Islands of interoperability • [EXT] B2B Client Service Connection • Common “Reference” Infrastructure needed Client XML Message Service Infrastructure

  8. A B2B Document Is NOT a Remote Procedure Call Purchase Order • Asynchronous vs. Synchronous • Receipt / Acceptance / Business Response • Legally Binding options • Secure (Encrypted) • Non-repudiation of Document (Dig Sig) • Non-repudiation of Response (Dig Sig) • Tamper Proof (encrypted message digest) A B

  9. Remote Method Call EAI Behind Firewall Sync response WUST stack Web Service Document Exchange B2B Across Internet Async response(s) ebXML stack Business Web Service XML Interoperability:Competing Paradigms

  10. EAI: Web Services vs. Corba

  11. Deploying WUST-based Web Services for B2B use • Week 0 • Post UDDI entry as “shoe supplier” • Include WSDL describing how to buy • Week 1 • 300 hits!! • 295 looking, 3 buy, 2 ??? • Week 2 • First “denial of service” attack  Internet B2B is different!

  12. Business Web Services Interoperability is always harder … … when it’s not you on both ends of the wire.

  13. XML Infrastructure Questions Use Cases  The Plumbing XML Messages Client Web Service Infrastructure

  14. 1. Once-only or Session • Once only: All setup info in each message • Batch multiple requests • Partial failures • Session: State maintained between messages • Prefixed or dynamically determined • Document Version, List of supported Actions • List of optional fields which are mandatory • Security set up initially ( cookie) • Ordered Delivery • Disconnected Operation

  15. 2. Message Encoding • Multiple Payloads • Non XML Data? • Each payload represents separate data component • Multi-hop Delivery • Payload vs. Message encryption? • Route Tracing

  16. 3. Document Exchange or RPC • Responses: • Asynchronous or Synchronous? • Multiple outstanding Requests? • Multiple responses (choreography)? • Legality Issues? • Non-refutability (Digital Signature) • Non-modifiable (Digest)

  17. 4. Quality of Service • Best Effort • Application-level Request/Response/Timeout • Once-only Delivery • Guaranteed Delivery • Ordered, error free, sequential • Disconnected Operation Client Network Web Service

  18. XML Document Infrastructure The alternative to XML RPC’s WUST

  19. Document Interoperability:More than the XML Data Application Partner XML Document Document Infrastructure CORBA Objects have IIOP EDI Documents have a VAN XML Documents have … ebMS

  20. What is XML Document Infrastructure? • No Document can be received unless its envelope is transported. • No Document can be read unless its envelope is opened. • No Document can be understood unless its “context” is known.

  21. XML Message Layers:Interoperability  All Levels XML Document Context Envelope <- Infrastructure -> Transport

  22. 1. XML Document • Industry Specific • Data Structure “pass by value” • Schema defined by Committee • Common Data Elements (Ex: Currency, Name, Date) • Document Specific Elements (Ex: Guest, Traveler, Patient, Student, Customer)

  23. 2. XML Context Layer • Message Type Determines “Context” • Session Setup / Shutdown • Request / Response (*) • Create(*):Update(*):Delete / Response • Publish / Subscribe • Asynchronous Event Notification (*) (*) Messages including Document data

  24. 3. XML Envelope Layer(s) Layered set of choices of increasing Functionality  Make not Buy

  25. Packaging: MIME Usage • XML not effective packaging candidate • XML Documents only • Requires special encoding • MIME a Winner: Ubiquitous • HTTP, SMTP are MIME-aware • FTP and other transports carry MIME • Package ANY data format • Package multiple data formats

  26. ebMS and SOAP ebMS SOAP with Attachments

  27. What is ebMS? Message Envelope (MIME) – Ex: Student Application ebMS Controlled Payload(s) Msg Header Application Form Financial Statement Msg Security Art Portfolio JPG High School Transcript Manifest* Letter of Reference Reviewer’s Assessment

  28. Where is ebMS? MHS Node MHS Node Client Application Web Service ebMS

  29. XML Envelope: Outer Layer • SOAP + Attachments • Multi-hop Message Routing • Request / ACK Matching • Transport Layer Independence • Data Encoding • Multiple Payloads

  30. XML Envelope: Inner Layer • ebMS Value Adds • Multi-hop Message Tracing • Request / Response Matching • Payload Versioning • Standardized Error Reporting • Security (Authenticate, Non-refutability) • Session Support • Guaranteed once-only Reliable Message Delivery • Automatic Message Timeouts and Resends • Disconnected Operation

  31. ebXML provides a Web Service Infrastructure - for B2B Web Services A brief (4 slide) Overview

  32. OASIS and UN/CEFACT joint initiative • Mission: "... enable a global electronic marketplace where enterprises of any size and in any geographical location can meet and conduct business with each other through the exchange of XML based messages“ • Document Exchange is NOT Method Calls (signed?) • Royalty Free • ebMS Schedule: • June 2002 - complete version 2.0 • GatheringMomentum: UDDI, …

  33. ebXML Standards Stack: Infrastructure for B2B Solutions B2B Application Discover Core Components ebMS RegRep CPP/CPA Register B2B Application BPSS

  34. ebMS Vendors:A very Partial List • XML Global / Excelon / Bind / … • Sybase (free version downloadable) • Fujitsu • Web Methods • Sun Microsystems • Microsoft (via XML Global BizTalk Connector)  Drummond Connectathons  Oasis Conformance/Interoperability

  35. ebMS Adoption • OTA (Cross-web Travel Reservations) • CIDX (Chemical Industry Supply Chain) • HL7 (Patient Records - security) • RosettaNet (post RNIF 2.0) + BPSS • STAR (Auto Supply Chain) • Others (Asian Steel Consortium, …) => Use ebXML infrastructure to allow concentration on XML Document Layer

  36. Web Services and ebXML

  37. Partner “Distance” Determines Delivery Infrastructure

  38. Conclusions B2B / EAI Interoperability  agreement on: • Document Schemas / Procedure Arguments • Document / Procedure Context • Transaction Choreography • Document Envelope : Procedure Marshaling • Packaging / Routing / Transport • Security Options (Document exchange only) • Quality of Service Options (Document exchange only)  Schema “adopters” should be interoperable
