Developing Web Services with EclipseArthur Rymanryman@ca.ibm.com Web Service and SOA China, Beijing 2005-04-07
Abstract The recently created Web Tools Platform Project extends Eclipse with a set of open source Web service development tools and APIs. This talk gives an overview of the project and focuses on its Web services support. The project is divided into two subprojects: Web Standard Tools and J2EE Standard Tools. The Web Standard Tools subproject contains support for XML Web Services, including tools based on standards defined by W3C, Oasis, WS-I and others. The J2EE Standard Tools subproject contains support for standards defined by JCP, such as JAX-RPC and JSR-109, and for reference implementations of these standards, such as Apache Axis. The project contains both a set of tools for Web service developers and a set of APIs for Web service tool creators. The talk includes a demonstration of the tools.
My Background • Software Development Manager at IBM Toronto Lab • Focus on Web Service, XML, and J2EE Tools • Rational Application Developer V6 • WebSphere Studio Application Developer V4, V5 • VisualAge for Java V1, V2, V3 • Member of Eclipse Web Tools Platform Project PMC • Leader of Web Standard Tools Subproject • Member of W3C Web Service Description Working Group • Editor of WSDL 2.0 Specification, Part 1
Topics • Open Source and Web Services • Eclipse Foundation • Eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP) Project • WTP Web Service Tools • Call for Participation • Demos
Web Services are About Interoperability Company B Company A
? Vendor A Vendor C Vendor A Vendor C Vendor C Vendor B Vendor B ? Interoperability with Multiple Vendors • Different implementation of standards • ‘Value add’ proprietary extensions • Implementation of a web service does not conform to standard • Result: Lots of interoperability testing
Where problems may arise • Implementation of Web Service Runtime (SOAP Engine) • Each vendor implements standards differently • Different interpretation of standards • ‘Value add’ proprietary features • Optimization to certain environments (security, transactional, reliability, XML compression) • Implementation of specific web service • Is the web service using well formed WSDL? • Does the web service support the WS-I Basic Profile? • E.g. exclude SOAP encoding
Learn from the Past: Success of the Internet • Early 1990’s Internet starts to take off • TCP/IP and HTML become accepted standards • Most major software vendors develop HTML web servers • Apache evolves from NCSA and becomes dominant web server • It was good and free! • Commercial friendly license • Software vendors adopt Apache or ensure interoperability • IBM, Oracle, etc adopted Apache • The result: an Internet which is pervasively available and free Open source provides the platform
Key to Success for Interoperability • Open Standards • OASIS, W3C, WS-I • Pervasive open source reference implementations • Forces vendors to adhere to standards to ensure interoperability • Royalty free software promotes quick adoption • Open source implementation must be commercial quality • Freely available tools to create, test and deploy web services • Ensures web services conform to standards, ex WS-I Basic Profile
Open Development Platform • Eclipse, Mono, Netbeans • Consistent implementation and validation environment Open Source Platform • OASIS, W3C, WS-I • XML, SOAP, WSDL • Consistent Meta-data Open Standards Open Source Runtimes • ObjectWeb, Apache • Consistent execution environment
The Role of Eclipse in Web Services Open Source implementations of standards-based runtimes, tools, and testing frameworks are vital to the pervasive success of Web Services.
About Eclipse • Eclipse is an Open Source universal tool integration platform • Contributed by IBM • Eclipse Foundation was formed in 2004 as an independent legal entity • Eclipse is implemented in Java but is language neutral • Eclipse has excellent Java development tools and is rapidly becoming the most popular IDE • Eclipse has a highly extensible plug-in archtecture • Extension points and extensions • Commercial products like WebSphere Studio and Rational Application Developer are based on Eclipse
