====== Web Services ======

This lecture describes a vision in which programs written in different languages, running on different platforms, and connected via different network transports can discover one another and communicate. 


===== Outline =====

  * The SOA Vision and the needed infrastructure
  * Terminology: service, port, binding, port-type, operation, message, part.
  * Reading a WSDL and identifying tns, service, and port
  * Building a client using a platform: AXIS
  * Building a client from scratch: SOAP 

  * Deploying a web service
  * Data persistence
  * XSD Returns
  * Complex Returns



===== To Do =====

  * Read Section 9.1 for an introduction, Section 9.4 on WSDL, and Section 9.6 on SOAP. Skip the other sections of Chapter 9 for now.
  * Take a tour of some wsdl documents (xmethods, strikeiron, fraudlabs, etc.) and familiarize yourself with their contents.
  * Create a client that consumes a web service along the lines of the AXIS and/or HTTP clients in the //Resource Directory//. 
  * Create your own web service and deploy it.
