Web Service A web service is a collection of protocols and standards used for exchanging data between applications or systems. Software applications written in various programming languages and running on various platforms can use web services to exchange data over computer networks like the Internet in a manner similar to inter-process communication on a single computer. This interoperability (e.g., between Java and Python, or Windows and Linux applications) is due to the use of open standards. OASIS and the W3C are the steering committees responsible for the architecture and standardization of web services. To improve interoperability between web service implementations, the WS-I organisation has been developing a series of profiles to further define the standards involved.
Web Services Description Language The Web Services Description Language (WSDL) is an XML format published for describing Web services. Version V 1.1 has not been endorsed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), however it has just (May 11th, 2005) released a draft for version 2.0, that will be a recommendation (an official standard), and thus endorsed by the W3C.
It is commonly abbreviated as WSDL in technical literature and often pronounced "Whiz-Dull".
Web Hosting Web hosting is a service that provides Internet users with online systems for storing information, images, video, or any content accessible via the web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center.
Java Web Services Development Pack The Java Web Services Development Pack (JWSDP) is a free software development kit (SDK) for developing Web Services, web applications and Java applications with the newest technologies for Java.
Java APIs: These are the APIs available in the JWSDP: * Java API for XML Processing (JAXP) * Java Architecture for XML Binding (JAXB) * JAX-RPC * SAAJ * Java API for XML Registries (JAXR) * Java Servlet * JavaServer Pages * JavaServer Faces
Web Services Invocation Framework The Web Services Invocation Framework (WSIF) follows the semantics of WSDL as much as possible. It is meant to be used when the semantics of WSDL do not suffice and need to be extended.
Web Services Discovery After Web services are created and published in Web services registries such as UDDI or Web Services Inspection Language (WSIL) documents, the service users or consumers need to search Web services maunally or automatically. The implementation of UDDI servers and WSIL engines should provide simple search APIs or web-based GUI to help find Web services.
"A WS-Inspection document provides a means for aggregating references to pre-existing service description documents which have been authored in any number of formats. These inspection documents are then made available at the point-of-offering for the service as well as through references which may be placed within a content medium such as HTML."
Web Services Protocol Stack The Web service protocol stack is the collection of computer networking protocols that are used to define, locate, implement, and make Web services interact with each other. The Web service protocol stack is mainly comprised of four areas:
