While a little bit out dated for its testing realm, this article holds some still useful information for the modern developer. "XML in the browser has been the subject of many spirited discussions about bleeding-edge web development. Some feel that XML in place of HTML isn’t ready for prime time due to the lack of user agents that can properly parse and render it. Others feel that XML really belongs on the server or used solely as a descriptive framework for data and has no place in the visual world of the Web which is already adequately served by

Web services are a set of tools that can be used in a number of ways. The three most common styles of use are RPC, SOA and REST. Remote procedure calls RPC Web services present a distributed function (or method) call interface that is familiar to many developers. Typically, the basic unit of RPC Web services is the WSDL operation. The first Web services tools were focused on RPC, and as a result this style is widely deployed and supported. However, it is sometimes criticised for not being loosely coupled, because it was often implemented by mapping

Annotation is the process of associating metadata with data. This article presents a Web services API intended as an industry standard for client-server systems designed to facilitate the structured annotation of heterogeneous data. The author presents the goals of the Annotation Web services API and then discusses how those goals motivate the data model around which the API operates. The author also discusses 29 methods that comprise the API including two examples of possible sequences of API calls to create and retrieve annotations. The Annotation

The Web Services Platform So what is the web service platform? The basic platform is XML plus HTTP. HTTP is a ubiquitous protocol, running practically everywhere on the Internet. XML provides a metalanguage in which you can write specialized languages to express complex interactions between clients and services or between components of a composite service. Behind the facade of a web server, the XML message gets converted to a middleware request and the results converted back to XML. Wait a minute, you say, access and invocation are only the bare

Web Services can make your applications Web applications. Web Services are published, found and used through the Web.

Abstract WSDL is an XML format for describing network services as a set of endpoints operating on messages containing either document-oriented or procedure-oriented information. The operations and messages are described abstractly, and then bound to a concrete network protocol and message format to define an endpoint. Related concrete endpoints are combined into abstract endpoints (services). WSDL is extensible to allow description of endpoints and their messages regardless of what message formats or network protocols are used to communicate,

The term Web services describes a standardized way of integrating Web-based applications using the XML, SOAP, WSDL and UDDI open standards over an Internet protocol backbone. XML is used to tag the data, SOAP is used to transfer the data, WSDL is used for describing the services available and UDDI is used for listing what services are available. Used primarily as a means for businesses to communicate with each other and with clients, Web services allow organizations to communicate data without intimate knowledge of each other's IT systems behind the

Core Web Services API in the Java Platform The Java API for XML-based RPC (JAX-RPC) lets you develop SOAP-based, interoperable, and portable web services. JAX-RPC — a required part of the J2EE 1.4 platform — provides the core API for developing and deploying web services on the Java platform. JAX-RPC web services can also be developed and deployed on J2EE 1.3 and Servlet containers. JAX-RPC provides many benefits to Java developers, including: --Portable and interoperable web services --Ease of development of web service endpoints and
