Web Services in the Enterprise I
Concepts, Definitions, Architecture, and ManagementCourse Description
The primary use of the World Wide Web at the present time is the interactive access to documents, resources, and applications. The majority of the current Web use cases are accomplished by human interaction, typically through Web browsers, multimedia players, or other front-end systems. To realize the Web's full potential, there is a need to extend the above capabilities to support interactions between applications and from one program to another, in a dynamic way and at run time. Although there have been a number of tools and products that attempted to provide solutions to this problem over the last few years, they all lacked industry-wide standardization support. Such tools were not based on protocols adopted by the Web, such as HTTP. Web Services abstraction, as part of what is coming to be known as Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), is the first serious industry-wide attempt to address these issues and provide an infrastructure for platform-independent integration of applications, and for the publications and run-time discovery of services.This course covers the rapidly changing Web Services technologies and provides definitions for its architectural components. You are presented with the historical background and introduced to the rationale and architecture behind Web Services. This will be followed by detailed explanation and examples of the underlying technologies, including XML, SOAP, WSDL, UDDI. The current status of the Web Services Market, and examples of the Web Service products will be discussed.
