Cross-Platform Web Services Using C# and Java

As the need for application-to-application communication and platform interoperability continues to grow, Web service developers need to be skilled in the technologies and languages that make this communication possible. Web services provide a language and platform independent standard for creating and connecting code that allows software applications (remote objects) to communicate with each other and users, via a network or the Web. Rather than focus on one specific technology or language, Cross-Platform Web Services Using C# and Java teaches how to integrate the various technologies of Web services using the two languages expected to dominate this growing area. Annotation This book teaches developers how to integrate the various technologies of Java and .NET Web services, focusing on cross-platform operability throughout. In addition to covering XML, WSDL, and UDDI, security topics such as firewalls, SSL, ID and XML signatures are covered in depth. New Apache tools are also covered, including SOAP, Axis, and Tomcat Microsoft, IBM, and Sun Microsystems are all pushing Web Services as the next great technology to allow developers to create remote objects easily. Explains how to integrate the various Web Services technologies using C# and Java.
