XML Web Services

An XML Web service provides a particular functionality and is publicly accessible by means of markup standards, such as XML and HTTP. An XML Web service can be used internally by a single application or exposed externally over the Internet for use by any number of applications. Instead of pursuing the generic capabilities of code portability, XML Web services provide a viable solution for enabling data and system interoperability. XML Web services use XML-based messaging as a fundamental means of data communication to help bridge the differences that exist between systems that use different component models, operating systems, and programming languages. Using XML-based messaging as the mechanism by which the service is created and accessed, both the XML Web service client and the XML Web service provider are freed from needing any knowledge of each other beyond inputs, outputs, and location. SOAP provides an extensible framing mechanism for XML messages. WSDL makes it possible to describe an endpoint and its behaviour. WSDL layers provide additional information over the XML Schema definitions that describe the actual messages. This extra information makes it possible for toolkits to automatically generate proxy and stub classes that know how to invoke Web Service operations without developer intervention.
