uri => http://host/server/ ,location => http://host/server/MathServer.php

);

$Client = new SoapClient (NULL, $clientOptions );

$method = add ;$params = array (

new SoapParam (12345, number1 ),new SoapParam (98765, number2 )

);

echo $Client -> __call ( $method , $params );

REST

REST = Representational State Transfer

Isnot

a standard ... but it does use standards

HTTP, URI, XML

REST puts Web back into Web Services The Internet is a REST system

16


25/31

REST + URI

REST puts the focus back into a URI ratherthan obscuring it behind an API

http://some-store.com/categories/

http://some-store.com/products/widget

http://some-store.com/search/gadgets
