Web Services & WCF: Ankit

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.


Web services

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

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.
WS-*
 WS-Addressing
 WS-Routing
 WS-Secutiry
 WS-AtomicTransaction
 WS-Eventing
 WS-Transfer

WSE - Microsoft implementation for


most of these specifications
SOA
 Service
 Small program interacted by well defines message
exchanges
 Agile, Reliable, Stable, Interoperable, Secure
 Four Tenets
 Boundaries are Explicit
 Services are Autonomous
 Services share schema and contract, not class
 Service compatibility is based upon policy
