This document provides an overview of web services and Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). It defines a web service as a collection of protocols and standards used for exchanging data between applications. It describes key characteristics of web services such as being accessible over the web and using platform-independent protocols. The document also discusses technologies that underlie web services like XML, SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI. It provides examples of writing and consuming a simple web service in Visual Studio. Finally, it discusses related concepts like WS-* specifications, SOA, and advantages of using web services.

Web Services & WCF
~ Ankit Web services A web service is a collection of protocols and standards used for exchanging data between applications or systems.
WebServices are published, described and located over Internet.

class MyService { public int Addition ( int operand1, int operand2); public int Subtraction ( int operand1, int operand2); public int Multiplication( int operand1, int operand2); } Characteristics 1. A Web Service is accessible over the Web. 2. Web Services communicate using platform-independent and language-neutral Web protocols. 3. A Web Service shares schemas and contracts/interface that can be called from another program. 4. A Web Service is registered and can be located through a Web Service Registry. 5. Web Services support loosely coupled connections between systems. Demo Writing a simple WebService in Visual Studio 2005 Consuming WebServices Technologies XML (eXtensible Markup Language) markup language that underlies most of the specifications used for Web services. SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) (Simple Object Access Protocol), is a network, transport, and programming language and platform neutral protocol that allows a client to call a remote service. The message format is XML. WSDL (Web services description language) An XML-based interface and implementation description language. The service provider uses a WSDL document in order to specify the operations a Web service provides. UDDI (universal description, discovery, and integration) Both a client-side API and a SOAP-based server implementation that can be used to store and retrieve information on service providers and Web services. SOAP Simple Object Access Protocol SOAP is an open protocol specification defining a uniform way of performing RPCs using HTTP as the underlying communications protocol with XML for the data serialization.

WebServices? Advantages of Web services • WebServices communicate of over http protocol and can easily cross network boundaries. • Web services support only the data types defined in the XSD type system, limiting the number of objects that can be serialized. This makes them interoperable across platforms, and are ideal for heterogeneous environments. • Highly reliable due to the fact that Web services are always hosted in IIS • Provides extensibility by allowing us to intercept the SOAP messages during the serialization and deserialization stages. • Easy-to-create and deploy.
