Cross-Platform Web Services Using C Sharp And Java

Everything you need to deploy Web services across multiple operating systems! 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. KEY FEATURES \* Focuses on the cross-platform interoperability of Web services \* Teaches all of the technologies and underlying standards of Web services, including XML, WSDL, and UDDI \* Covers development of .net and Java Web services \* Shows how to integrate applications developed with other languages and legacy systems \* Separate chapter on cross-platform implementation of Web service security including firewalls, SSL, ID, XML signatures, and testing \* Covers latest Web services tools of the Apache group, including SOAP, Axis and TOMCAT \* CD-ROM includes complete source code for all examples and projects On the CD! The companion CD-ROM includes all the code and projects from the various examples in the book. \* Code Samples Contains all the code from examples in the book by chapter \* Images Contains color versions of all the images in the book by chapter SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS (WIN) PC: Pentium II processor or greater; Windows NT, 2000 or XP Pro; IIS or Personal Web server installed; 128MB RAM minimum, 256MB recommended; 20MB hard drive space; CD-ROM drive; Hard drive; .net Framework SDK, Microsoft Visual Studio.net recommended; Java 2 SDK . 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.
