Features: This book is an introduction to the architecture of web services and the essence of web service technology. By tracing the commercial needs of web services, it analyzes one by one the commitments made by web service technology to meet these commercial needs. These commitments are fully expressed through the series of web service technologies. They include the core technologies such as XML, XMLSCHEMA, SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI, as well as a considerable number of relatively non-core modeling technologies. Among them, XML is the foundation of all web service technologies, XMLSCHEMA provides the core data modeling technology for the service domain, SOAP is the basic interaction framework for web services, WSDL provides structured description capabilities for the interaction interface of web services, and UDDI endows the world of web services with a powerful service discovery and integration mechanism.
