DESCRIPTION
This slides covers all aspectsof current Web services and discusses the future direction of Web services.It explains how to discover, describe, and access Web services and the technologiesbehind those functions. It also provides concrete use cases fordeploying Web services and answers the question “Why use Web services?”Lastly, it provides detailed description of advanced Web service applicationsto include orchestration and security. The chapter closes with a discussionof grid-enabled Web services and semantic-enabled Web services.TRANSCRIPT

Web services are software applications that can be
discovered, described, and accessed based on XML and
standard Web protocols over intranets, extranets , and the
Internet.

Why We Use Web Services?
6/26/2011
5
These questions are so fundamental that you should ask
them about any candidate Technology:
Do Web services solve real problems?
Is there really a future for Web services?
How can I use Web services?
Semantic Web Services
Basics of Web Services
6/26/2011
6
This section gives a high-level overview of some of the
basic Web services technologies:
SOAP
WSDL
Semantic Web Services
What Is SOAP?
6/26/2011
7
SOAP used to stand for “Simple Object Access Protocol”.
SOAP is the envelope syntax for sending and receiving XML messages with Web services.
SOAP is the communication language of Web services.
A SOAP message contains the following
elements:• A SOAP envelope that wraps the message
• A description of how data is encoded
• A SOAP body that contains the application-specific message that the backend application will understand.

What Is WSDL?
6/26/2011
9
Stand of Web Service Definition Language.
The W3C defines WSDL as “an XML format for
describing network services as a set of endpoints
operating on messages containing either document-
oriented or procedure oriented information.”

How to Discover Web Services
6/26/2011
11
if you would like to search for Web services based on the
features they provide and then dynamically connect to
them and use them, you will need a Web service registry.
two key registry technologies:
• UDDI.
• ebXML registries.
Semantic Web Services
What Is UDDI?
6/26/2011
12
Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration is an
evolving technology and is not yet a standard, but it is
being implemented and embraced by major vendors.
UDDI is a phone book for Web services.
allows you to discover Web services.

What Are ebXML Registries?

14
The ebXML standard was created by OASIS to link
traditional data exchanges to business applications to
enable intelligent business processes using XML.

Orchestrating Web Services
6/26/2011
16
Orchestration is the process of combining simple web
services to create complex, sequence-driven tasks.
A Simple Example:
• For our example, we’ll list five separate Web services within a
fictional organization:
Hotel finder Web service.
Driving directions finder.
Airline ticket booker.
Car rental Web service.
Expense report creator.

Securing Web Services
6/26/2011
18
One of the biggest concerns in the deployment of Web
services today is security.
One of the reasons that many system integrators appreciate
Web services is that SOAP rides on a standard protocol.
List basic terms that are related to Web services security:
• Authentication.
• Authorization.
• Single sign-on (SSO).
• Confidentiality.
• Integrity.
• Non repudiation.

XML Signature
XML Signature is a W3C Recommendation that
provides a means to validate message integrity and non-
repudiation. With XML Signature, any part of an XML
document can be digitally signed.

21
XML Encryption
XML Encryption is a technology and W3C Candidate
Recommendation that handles confidentiality; it can hide
sensitive content, so that only the intended recipient can
read the sensitive information.

What’s Next for Web Services?
6/26/2011
22
As Web services evolve, there is great potential in two
major areas:
Grid-Enabled Web Services:
Grid computing is a technology concept that can achieve
flexible, secure, and coordinated resource sharing among
dynamic collections of individuals, institutions , and
resources.
Semantic Web Services

23
A Semantic Web of Web Services:
The Semantic Web and Web services go hand in hand.
XML, a self-describing language, is not enough. WSDL, a
language that describes the SOAP interfaces to Web
services, is not enough. Automated support is needed in
dealing with numerous specialized data formats.
