Web Services Defined “A Web service is a software system identified by a URI [RFC 2396], whose public interfaces and bindings are defined and described using XML1.Its definition can be discovered by other software systems2. These systems may then interact with the Web service in a manner prescribed by its definition, using XML based messages3 conveyed by Internet protocols4.” – W3C 1 – WSDL 2 – UDDI and Meta Data Exchange 3 – SOAP 4 – Not Necessarily HTTP

Description and Discovery Mechanisms • Description • WSDL • Policy Framework (and extensions) • WS-Policy • Discovery • UDDI
Topics • Definitions of SOA and Web Services • Key Technologies • Apache Axis and Open Source Frameworks • Example from Projects and Industry
Axis - Apache EXtensible Interaction System • Axis is essentially a SOAP engine • Simple stand-alone server • Server which plugs into servlet engines such as Tomcat • Extensive support for the Web Service Description Language (WSDL) • Tools that generate Java classes from WSDL • Tool for monitoring TCP/IP packets
JAVA Example using Axis Server • Call the echoString method on the public Axis server at Apache

Summary • SOA/Web Services usage is both internal and external • SOA is the framework • Web Services (WS*) defines the SOAP/WSDL messages • SOAP engines enable JAVA language usage • Apache and Open Source solutions exist for usage • Major companies are using WS* for their interface mechanism
