Introduction • Ed Anuff, chief strategy officer at Epicentric. ‘A web service up until now using SOAP and WSDL has had no presentational aspect to it. With component model Web Services you can provide a complete user interface for an end-user involved in that which can be dynamically plugged into a portal without development efforts’[October,2001]
Introduction • Why little focus on UI in Web Service? • Lack of perception of the UI as a distributed app problem. • Lack of focus on the need to support diversity of the UI. • It’s a messy problem • XHTML, WML lack semantics of data-oriented XML • How to raise level of abstraction without introducing new and hard-to-get-adopted markup languages.
Introduction • Web service’s user interface may be created automatically? • How to deliver Web Services to end users? • Directly to a browser or mobile device • Indirectly through a portal • Indirectly embedding into a 3rd party web application.
What is WSIA? • A New web services standard for Interactive application in Web Service • enable organization can easily plug and play web service into their applications and portals just a few mouse clicks and no programming effort.

What is WSIA? • History • January 21, 2002 the OASIS Rename Web service Component Model ( WSCM) as WSIA • Novembre 2002 Working Draft 0.8 (with WSRP)
What is WSIA? • OASIS Current Technical Committees. • Provisioning Services (PSML) • Rights Language • RELAX NG • Security Services • Topic Maps Published Subjects • Topic Maps Published Subjects for Geography and Language • Topic Maps Vocabulary for XML Standards • Universal Business Language • Web Services for Interactive Applications (WSIA) • Web Services Remote Portal (WSRP) • XSLT Conformance • Access Control (XACML) • Business Transaction Protocol (BTP) • Common Biometric Format (XCBF) • Conformance • Customer Information (CIQ) • Directory Services (DSML) • DocBook • ebXML CPPA • ebXML IIC • ebXML Messaging • ebXML Registry • Election Services • Entity Resolution • Human Markup
What is WSIA? • The goals of the OASIS WSIA TC • To create an XML and web services centric framework for interactive web applications. • To Harmonize WSIA with • existing web application • The work of W3C • Emerging web services standard • Appropriate business information bodies • To ensure that WSIA application can be deployed on any tier of network and remain target device • Promote WSIA to the status of international standard for based Web application development.

Why need WSIA? 2 retailer manufacture 1 3 XML APIs don’t provide the simplicity needed to scale integration to thousands of channel partners
Why need WSIA? tool Internet tool intranet tool How to transition as many processes as possible into self-service tasks over the web to reduce operation costs
Why need WSIA? • Technical Motivation • API users incur the effort of integrating the application into their sites. • High setup cost • Maintenance cost • How to ensure Quality • WSIA and WSRP provide an alternative to data-centric Web Services and simple XML APIs.
Why need WSIA? Presentation oriented web service Data oriented web service Database Database Business logic layer Business logic layer Presentation layer XML HTML Presentation layer For API users, data-oriented Web Services require further work to transform the XML to HTML
Why need WSIA? API users incur the effort of integrating the application into their sites.
WSIA/WSRP Technology Overview • WSIA and WSRP define • a set of APIs • Three types of actors Producers Consumers (or “integrators”) Client Application Back End Services User Experience Services
WSIA/WSRP Technology Overview • Typical Process Flow • Establishment of a relationship between the Consumer and Producer. (registration) • Establishment of a relationship between the Consumer and End-User. ( authentication) • Production of aggregated pages by Consumer. • Request for a page by End-User. • Processing interactions. • Destruction of relationship.
WSIA/WSRP Technology Overview • Various levels of interaction between roles • Simpler Producer • Maintain interaction state using a sessioin • Sophisticated Producer • A number of entities • Require consumers to register in DBMS • Simple Consumer • Explicit declarations for binding to producers • Sophisticated Consumer • Support discovery of new producers by End-Users.
WSIA/WSRP Technology Overview End User Interactions in simple Consumer / Producer
WSIA/WSRP Technology Overview End User Interactions in sophisticated Consumer / Producer
WSIA/WSRP Technology Overview • WSIA and WSRP fulfill the following roles • Define the notion of valid markup fragments based on the existing markup languages, such as HTML, XHTML, VoiceXML, cHTML... • Provide a set of standard calls to enable a Consumer to request these markup fragments from a Producer based on the existing state. • Supply a set of calls that support the concept of multistep user interaction and preservation of state across those calls
WSIA/WSRP Technology Overview • There are four central parts to the WSIA and WSRP APIs • Retrieving markup fragments (encapsulated in the getMarkup() call) • Managing state • Handling user interaction (encapsulated in the performInteraction() call) • Supporting customization and configuration
WSIA/WSRP Technology Overview • Retrieving Markup Fragments • getMarkup() call requests a markup fragment based on the state of the Web service. embed into page 2 Fragment of Html Code 4 Return to user consumer producer 3 0 1 getMarkup() call
WSIA/WSRP Technology Overview • Retrieving Markup Fragments • Container page (adapters) • In WSIA, it can be any web application. • In WSRP, it is generated by a portal toolkit. • URL rewriting • Any further user interaction with the service is routed through the Consumer application. Fragement / portlet Container producer consumer
WSIA/WSRP Technology Overview • Managing State • Reasons • Multistep interaction • Requiring several calls from the Consumer to the Producer. • WSIA/WSRP are connectionless protocols. • Three Types of state • Navigational state • Allow the current page to be correctly generated • send from Producer to Consumer • stored in URL’s ns parameter. • Transient state • Related to a sequence of operations. ( not explicitly terminated) • stored on the Producer. • Consumer is then responsible for attaching it to any subsequent calls. • Persistent state • Consumer Registration • Entity
WSIA/WSRP Technology Overview • Handling User Interaction • All the URLs embedded in the markup fragment returned by the remote Producer service must point back to the Consumer application. • For example • the consumer may send the following URL template: • www.consumer.com/path?ns=page1&si=4ABB33A • Theproduceris responsible for generating a markup fragment in which all the interaction URLs point back to the Consumer. • www.consumer.com/path?ns=page2&si=4ABB33A
WSIA/WSRP Technology Overview Two-step protocol API CALLS FLOW
WSIA/WSRP Technology Overview • Supporting Customization and Configuration • A single hosted service can be used across multiple consumer applications and users. • Consumers can create and manage additional configurations of the same service. • For example • A remote interactive product catalog may be configured to display different prices depending on the Consumer application.
