Distributed Information System: December 7, 2009 1 Alvin Macchione - Rémy Javelle

The document discusses web services and their different types. It describes how web services work by allowing clients and servers to communicate via protocols like HTTP and SOAP. There are two main types - service-oriented architecture (SOA) web services which use standards like WSDL, SOAP, and UDDI, and representational state transfer (REST) services which are based on the existing web architecture of using URIs and HTTP methods. Examples of applications that use web services are given for social networking, travel, video sharing, blogging, e-commerce, and maps.

1 What are Web services ?

2 How does a Web service work?


3 Different types of Web services

- The client sends a request - Request encoded in XML - Function (GET, POST) in the file - The server decodes the file - The function is executed - A new XML file is encoded

and re-send to the client


=> Clients and servers communicate over the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP).

3 Different types of Web services


4 Examples

=> Service-oriented architecture (SOA):


- SOA defines WS-* Web Services - Communication protocol: SOAP - Web Service Description Language (WSDL) for description - UDDI (Universal Description Discovery and Integration) directory

3 Different types of Web services


4 Examples

=> Service-oriented architecture (SOA):


Advantages :
- Interoperability between applications on many platforms - Use open protocols

- Data and protocols are in plain text


- Thanks to HTTP protocol, Web services can run through firewalls - Easy to implement

2 How does a Web service work?

3 Different types of Web services


4 Examples

=> Representational state transfer (REST):


- Base of the World Wide Web (WWW) - Different from SOA :

clients and servers => agents and resources


referenced with identifiers (URI/URL) - Interaction : identifier and action required

3 Different types of Web services


4 Examples

=> Representational state transfer (REST):


Advantages : - Easy to maintain

- No state client administration: Less memory used, simplicity,


simultaneous requests, several servers - Using URI: setting up cache servers
