Your Web services architecture is a success: you've got employees, customers and partners consuming services of all kinds across your network. But how do you handle SOA versioning – especially in the case of mission-critical services where down-time is virtually out of the question? This webinar gives you the answers you need.

Even though Web services standards are only a few years old, the rapid ratification by standards bodies and the committed support by major vendors are unprecedented. Companies and government agencies have been rushing in, with many projects already in production. The question of Web services security, however, continues to be the leading issue and the top investment area for companies enabling Web Services. Is there a reason for this? Can existing technologies plug these security holes created by Web Services? Are the risks the same for all services – across the user base: internal employees vs. external users? Are the Web services dangers and risks more or less than with existing technologies? The benefits and ease of use make the adoption of Web Services a foregone conclusion. The real question that enterprises must ask themselves when adopting Web Services is: what are the reasonable and cost effective steps to mitigate Web services risks to an acceptable level for our organization?

Research shows that increasing numbers of large companies are moving steadily toward the adoption of a service-oriented architecture (SOA) built on Web services as the basis of their next-generation application and integration environments. This whitepaper on getting started with Web Services shows how, before moving ahead full-bore with SOA implementations, these organizations are benefiting by deploying Web services first. By deploying Web services on an incremental basis, organizations can save themselves time and headaches – and ultimately simplify their migration path to SOA.

Over the past several years, the emergence of Web services has become one of the most talked-about advances in the technology industry. Throughout corporate IT, there is growing interest – and a bit of skepticism – about the promise and potential of Web services for corporate computing: Will Web services change the way I do business? How can I realize and maximize Web Services ROI? Is anyone really doing Web services? And even, We hear Web services is the holy grail of computing?

This class explores contract-first Web services development using the Altova Enterprise XML Suite. Beginning with the development of a Web services description (a WSDL document) using XMLSpy, the student is led through the development of a Web service from back end to front. Along the way, the student will learn how to autogenerate Web services components using MapForce, test a service using XMLSpy as a SOAP client, and explore the use of the XMLSpy SOAP debugger to intercept and investigate SOAP messages generated in a Web service exchange.

Using Stylus Studio's Web service call composer, you can design, compose, and test a Web service call without writing any code. Once Stylus Studio composes the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) request and you have successfully tested it, you can use the SOAP response returned by the Web service as an XML source wherever you use XML documents in Stylus Studio. This web service tutorial covers:

Web service overview, Obtaining WSDL URLs, Modifying a SOAP Request, Testing a Web Service, Saving a Web Service Call, Creating a Web Service Call Scenario.

This Web Service tutorial covers: obtaining WSDL URLs, modifying a SOAP request, testing a Web service, saving a Web service call, and creating a Web service call scenario.

Bloglines today announced a set of new web services APIs, allowing developers to write applications for reading RSS and Atom feeds by drawing data directly from the Bloglines databases. This is a very significant change in the landscape of RSS/Atom aggregators, the newsreading applications that have become more popular over the past few years. Along with the release of its web services, Bloglines announced that several desktop RSS/Atom aggregators, including FeedDemon, NetNewsWire, and Blogbot, will begin using these APIs to provide additional capabilities in their applications. The Bloglines Web Services make it very easy for developers to use RSS and Atom content for many purposes, and the services will also ease the traffic pileup that aggregators are beginning to cause for many large RSS/Atom publishers.

Just imagine you have a new data class that provides a disconnected, in-memory cache of data from a relational data store and you are sure nobody else has ever implemented this. Now your instances of this class to be used to pass data between Web services. If you have read this small articles series carefully, you might want to say that you just have implement the IXmlSerializable interface for this type.

An XML Web Service is an internet standard and this article demonstrates how to build and consume an XML Web Service in Visual Basic .NET.

Max shows how legacy VB6 applications can consume web services written in C++.

In Part One of this tutorial series, I created a simple SOAP based chat server and client using the Systinet Web Services WASP platform. In the second part, I’ll show you how easy it is to call the services asynchronously. As a small bonus, I’ll touch on the problems of transmitting exceptions over SOAP.

In the last couple of years, the concept of a web service (WS) has emerged as an important paradigm for general application integration in the internet environment. More particularly, WS is viewed as an important vehicle for the creation of dynamic e-business applications and as a means for the J2EE and .NET worlds to come together.

The notion of Web services exploded in June 2000 when Microsoft announced its .NET strategy for Internet-based applications and unofficially dubbed such applications "Web services." Since then IBM has touted technologies it already has as Web-services enablers and, more recently, Oracle, Sun Microsystems, and Hewlett-Packard proclaimed that they too have been working on Web-services technologies for some time.

The important role of Web services in businesses and organizations is undisputed today. The construction and management of large Web services is still a challenge. The life cycle of a Web service includes the analysis, design, implementation and maintenance stages and Web service engineering covers all phases of Web service life cycle.

Welcome to the Web Services course. This course is designed to introduce you to the concepts and technologies associated with developing Web Services. Upon completing this course, you will be familiar with the concepts, terms, and technologies involved with Web Services.

This tutorial will help participants weave a path through the alphabet soup of Web services specifications. Participants will learn the significance of each of the major Web services specifications (SOAP, WSDL, UDDI), the relationship between them, as well as the standard components and tools that are available to take advantage of them.

There is little doubt that the hype associated with web services has reached astronomical proportions. Notably missing from the current flood of information, however, is a nuts-and-bolts examination of how to build applications which provide both browser-based access for human users and programmatic access for automated clients.
