Web services offer a new and evolving paradigm for building distributed web applications. This book focuses on the essentials of web services and covers four main technologies: XML-RPC, SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI. The book offers a high-level overview of each technology. It also describes the relevant API and discusses implementation options for each technology. The book includes a broad range of working examples so that you can immediately see web services in action.
The book is divided into five parts. Part I provides a general introduction to web services.
Part II through Part V focus on core web service technologies, including XML-RPC,
SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI. The book concludes with a glossary of common web service
terms.
Part I, Introduction to Web Services
Chapter 1 provides an overview of web services, the web service architecture, and the web
service protocol stack. It also provides a snapshot of current standardization efforts of the
World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
Part II, XML-RPC
Chapter 2 provides a comprehensive introduction to XML-RPC. This includes a technical
overview of XML-RPC, including a detailed explanation of XML-RPC data types,
requests, and responses. This chapter also includes sample XML-RPC code, written in
Java and Perl.
Part III, SOAP
Chapter 3 provides a comprehensive introduction to SOAP. This includes overviews of
the SOAP specification, using SOAP via HTTP, and the W3C standardization effort
surrounding SOAP.
Chapter 4 provides a quick-start guide to using Apache SOAP, an open source Java
implementation of the SOAP specification. This chapter includes detailed instructions on
installing and deploying SOAP services and on writing basic service and client code.
Chapter 5 provides an in-depth guide to programming Apache SOAP. This includes an
overview of working with arrays, JavaBeans™, and literal XML documents. This chapter
also includes a discussion on handling SOAP faults and maintaining session state.
Part IV, WSDL
Chapter 6 provides a comprehensive introduction to WSDL. This includes an overview of
the specification itself, numerous WSDL examples, and an introduction to WSDLinvocation
tools.
Part V, UDDI
Chapter 7 provides a comprehensive overview of UDDI. This includes an overview of the
UDDI data model and tutorials for searching existing data and publishing new data.
Chapter 8 provides a quick reference to the UDDI Inquiry API.
Chapter 9 introduces UDDI4J, an open source Java implementation of UDDI. Example
code illustrates how to search and publish UDDI data. A complete description of the
UDDI4J API is also included.
