Web Services and SOA

Web Services is a technology that allows for applications to communicate with each other in a standard format.A Web Service exposes an interface that can be accessed through XML messaging.A Web service uses XML based protocol to describe an operation or the data exchange with another web service. Ex: SOAPA group of web services collaborating accomplish the tasks of an application. The architecture of such an application is called Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA).

State of Massachusetts uses SOA to deliver healthcare services. With HTML web application it had no control of look and feel and handling many hospitals. With SOAP based messaging they can easily handle different systems, billing systems, medical records systems etc. Use Microsoft-based systems.Countrywide financial simplifies lending: IBM Websphere based SOA is used to deliver services.Guardian Life Insurance uses SOA: IBM websphere based services. Uses EJB for business logic.British Telecom uses combination of BEA systems and Microsoft’s Connected Services Framework. Billing backend and operational support for the organization are web services. Legacy systems are enabled as web services.Amazon.com provides WS API for developers to implement applications leveraging their architecture and data.

XML

XML is a markup language, developed by W3C (World Wide Web Consortium), mainly to overcome the limitations of HTML.But it took a life of its own and has become a very popular part of distributed systems.We will examine its definition, associated specifications (DTD, XSLT etc.), Java APIs available to process XML, protocols and services based on XML, and the role XML plays in a distributed computing environment.

XML input Processing

1. Processing and validating the source document

2. Recognizing/searching for relevant information based on its location or its tagging in the source document

3. Extracting relevant information once it has been located

4. Mapping/binding retrieved information to business objects

XML Processing Technologies

SAX, Simple API for XMLDOM, Document Object Model API from W3CXSLT, XML Style Sheets Language Transformations from W3CXPath, the XML Path Language from W3COther third party APIs.

Apache Ant ToolAnt tool is an XML based build tool.Ant requires its config files to be specified in XML format.Config file build.xml has general commands for ant tool.Ant tool is used for build, deploy, and run java applications.See these tutorial for more information on ant:

XML to SOAP

Simple xml can facilitate sending message to receive information.The message could be operations to be performed on objects.Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)

SOAP Request<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <soap:Body> <getProductDetails xmlns="http://warehouse.example.com/ws"> <productId>827635</productId> </getProductDetails> </soap:Body> </soap:Envelope>

Web Services Suite of Protocols

A suite of protocols define the Web Services Technology.These are used to describe, publish, discover, deliver and interact with services.The information about the protocols is from IBM’s developerworks.

04/10/23 15

WS Suite of ProtocolsMessaging protocol Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) encodes messages so that they can be delivered over the transport protocols HTTP, SMTP or IIOP.Web Services Definition Language (WSDL) is used to specify the service details such as name, methods and their parameters, and the location of the service. This facilitates the registering and discovery of the service.For services to locate each other, the Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) protocol defines a registry and associated protocols for locating and accessing services.

04/10/23 16

WS Suite of Protocols (contd.)

The WS-Transaction and WS-Coordination protocols work together to handle distributed transactions.The Business Process Execution Language for Web Services (BPEL4WS) defines workflow operations. WS-Security is a family of protocols that cover authentication, authorization, federated security, secure communications, and delivery. WS-Policy is another group of protocols that define the policy rules behind how and when Web services can interact with each other. WS-Trust defines how trust models work between different services.

JAX-RPC

JAX-RPC: Java API for XML-based Remote Procedure Call (RPC).An API for building Web Services and Web Services clients.Some important concepts in JAX-RPC are:

Type-mapping system (WSDL to Java) Service endpoint Exception handling Service endpoint context Message handlers Service clients and service context SOAP with attachments Runtime services JAX-RPC client invocation models

04/10/23 20

JAX-RPC (contd.)JAX-RPC is designed to provide a simple way for developers to create Web services server and Web services client.Based on remote procedure calls; so the programming model is familiar to Java developers who have used RMI or CORBA.Major difference between RMI and JAX-RPC is that messages exchanged are encoded in XML based protocol and can be carried over a variety of transport protocols such as HTTP, SMTP etc.You can use JAX-RPC without having to be an expert in XML, SOAP, or HTTP.

04/10/23 22

Services, ports and bindings

Service endpoint interface or service endpoint that defines one or more operations that the web service offers.Access to an endpoint is provided by binding it to a protocol stack through a port. A port has an address that the client can use to

communicate with the service and invoke its operations.

An endpoint can be bound to different ports each offering a different suite of protocols for interaction.

WS Development Lifecycle

Build: Definition of service interface Definition of service implementation

New services Existing application into WS Composing a WS out of other WS and applications

Source compiled and Stubs and Ties are generated.

Deploy: Publication of the service interface and service

implementation to service registry or service requestor.

Deployment of executables in an execution environment.

04/10/23 25

WS Development Lifecycle (contd.)

Run: A WS is available for invocation. Requestor can perform find and bind operation.Manage: on going management and administration for security, availability, performance, QoS, and business processes.

Service Oriented Architectures

Lets look at some success stories.Amazon.com has is data collection available web services developers.See these URLs:Amazon.com E-Commerce Service (ECS)

Conceptual Model       ECS Usage/Query Scenarios            Types of data available through ECS (and not

available) Sample applications (some of them are cool) Programming and API for making (SOAP) requests

Summary

We looked at foundational concepts supporting web services: XML, SOAP, WSDL and Web Services standards.We also illustrated the concepts using sample programs.Best way to get started is try out WS tutorials by yourself.
