  1. Overview of Web Services Maria Lizarraga CS526

  2. Agenda • Definition • Benefits/Drawbacks • Architecture • Communication Process • Tools • Implementation Maria Lizarraga

  3. What is a web service? • A web service is a web software application available on the network that provides an interface for exchanging information with a client. • the software application • a method to interface to the application • URI associated with the application • a published document that gives visibility to the world Maria Lizarraga

  4. Benefits • Platform and Language Independent • Uses industry standards • Low cost internet communication • Reduces development effort Maria Lizarraga

  5. Drawbacks • Less efficient, slow • Hard to locate • Requires learning a different set of development tools and technology Maria Lizarraga

  6. Architecture Maria Lizarraga

  7. Web Services Description Language (WSDL) Document • Name • Location • Operations • Data Types See WSDL document. Maria Lizarraga

  8. Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) Registry • Publish Web Services • Discovering Web Services Maria Lizarraga

  9. Simple Object Access Protocol, SOAP Message • XML • Embedded into HTTP • Three parts • Envelope • Header • Body Maria Lizarraga

  10. Communication Process Maria Lizarraga

  11. Client Application Maria Lizarraga

  12. SOAP Message POST /GradesService/services/GradesService HTTP/1.0 Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8 Accept: application/soap+xml, application/dime, multipart/related, text/* User-Agent: IBM WebServices/1.0 Host: localhost:9080 Cache-Control: no-cache Pragma: no-cache SOAPAction: "" Content-Length: 356 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/ envelope/" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/ encoding/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema- instance"> <soapenv:Body> <getStudents xmlns="http://grades"/> </soapenv:Body> </soapenv:Envelope> Application package grades; public class GradesService { final int NUMSTUDENTS = 4; String[] students; char[] grade; public GradesService ( ) { students = new String [] {"Mary", "Joe", "Sally", "Tim"}; grade = new char [] {'A', 'B', 'C', 'D'}; } // end constructor public char getStudentGrade (String student) { for (int i = 0; i < NUMSTUDENTS; i++) if (student.equals(students[i])) return grade[i]; return 'Z'; } // end getStudentGrade public String getStudent (int studentID) { return students[studentID]; } // end getStudent public String[] getStudents ( ) { return students; } // end getStudents public static void main(String[] args){ GradesService gs = new GradesService(); for (int i = 0; i < gs.NUMSTUDENTS; i++) System.out.println("Student: " + gs.getStudent (i) + "\tGrade:” + gs.getStudentGrade(gs.getStudent(i))); } // end main } // end class GradesService Request Maria Lizarraga

  13. HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: WebSphere Application Server/5.1 Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8 Content-Language: en-US Connection: close <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <soapenv:Body> <getStudentsResponse xmlns="http://grades"> <getStudentsReturn> Mary </getStudentsReturn> <getStudentsReturn> Joe </getStudentsReturn> <getStudentsReturn> Sally </getStudentsReturn> <getStudentsReturn> Tim </getStudentsReturn> </getStudentsResponse> </soapenv:Body> </soapenv:Envelope> Response Maria Lizarraga

  14. Web Services Development Platforms • Java Web Services Development Pack (JWSDP) • IBM WebSphere • Systinet Web Applications and Services Platform (WASP) • Microsoft.NET • HP Web Services Platform Maria Lizarraga

  15. WebSphere Implementation • Create an application • Create a server • Create a project • Create a service • Test the service • Create the client • Test the client • Publish the service Maria Lizarraga

  16. Summary • Architecture • UDDI Registry, Client and Server Applications • WSDL • SOAP • Communication Process • Application -> Stub -> Runtime -> SOAP Message • Soap Message -> Runtime -> Ties -> Application • Web Services Development Platforms Maria Lizarraga
