Sun technologist: SOAP stack a 'failure'http://www.infoworld.com/article/08/07/24/Sun-technologist-SOAP-stack-a-failure_1.html InfoWorld, Paul Krill, July 24, 2008: The SOAP stack for Web services was branded a failure this week by Tim Bray, a Sun Microsystems technologist and co-inventor of XML, who hailed the REST (Representational State Transfer) mechanism as a SOAP alternative. "The SOAP stack is generally regarded as an embarrassing failure these days," said Bray, who is Sun director of Web technologies, in an interview Wednesday afternoon at the O'Reilly Open Source Convention (OSCON) in Portland, Ore. "REST does what [the SOAP stack] was trying to do in a much more viable, elegant, cheap, affordable way except that we've got no tooling around it yet."- Web Services - SOAP - |

BPEL4People and WS-HumanTask to OASIShttp://blogs.msdn.com/jevdemon/archive/2008/01/08/bpel4people-and-ws-humantask-to-oasis.aspx The BPEL4People and WS-HumanTask specs are headed to OASIS, resulting in a new BPEL4People Technical Committee (TC) - expect to see an announcement and call for participation soon. The TC will focus on defining human interactions (human tasks) as part of a WS-BPEL process, enabling these definitions to be exposed as web services.- Web Services - BPEL - |

RESTful Web services and their Ajax-based clientshttp://www.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-restajax/index.html Shailesh K. Mishra of IBM, 05 Jul 2007: A RESTful Web service is a Web service built using the REpresentational State Transfer (REST) architectural style. This article demonstrates one way to write RESTful Web services, using a simple proxy servlet and their Asynchronous XML JavaScript (Ajax)-based clients.- Ajax - Web Services - REST - |

Web Services Interoperability Technologyhttp://java.sun.com/webservices/interop/ Web Services Interoperability Technology (WSIT) is an open-source implementation of next generation Web services technologies that deliver interoperability between Java EE and .Net to help you build, deploy, and maintain Composite Applications for your Service Oriented Architecture. Built upon JAX-WS (Java API for XML Web Services), this implementation will be made available as the "Web Services Interoperability Technology (WSIT)" and is focused on four main categories: Messaging, Metadata, Security, and Quality-of-Service (QoS).- Java - Web Services - Interoperability - |

Service Versioning For SOAhttp://webservices.sys-con.com/read/250503.htm (Found in a blog, "Versioning is as inevitable as security.") SOA development practice isn't much different from other software development practices except for design and maintenance. Multiple self-containing and aggregated services that interact with others have their own lifecycle and evolution. The loosely coupling model of SOA services significantly simplifies design but creates additional difficulties in maintenance, especially in the interoperability of different service versions- Web Services - Service-Oriented Architecture - |

SOA Focus - Web Services Security in Java EEhttp://opensource.sys-con.com/read/250237.htm Here you'll get thehands-on knowledge of Web Services security in Java EE that we acquired when adding security support to OptimalJ-generated SOA applications. It's based on the J2EE 1.4 specification itself as well as on what is actually supported and it works in three major J2EE 1.4 application servers - JBoss 4.0.4, WebSphere 6.0.2.x, and WebLogic 9.1. You'll also learn about the new mandatory security features available to Web Service endpoints in Java EE 5.0.- Web Services - |

On the relationship between Web Services Security and traditional protocolshttp://web.comlab.ox.ac.uk/oucl/work/bill.roscoe/publications/104.pdf [May 2, 2005] XML and Web Services security specifications define elements to incorporate security tokens within a SOAP message. We propose a method for mapping such messages to an abstract syntax in the style of Dolev-Yao, and in particular Casper notation. We show that this translation preserves flaws and attacks. Therefore we provide a way for all the methods, and specifically Casper and FDR, that have been developed in the last decade by the theoretical community for the analysis of cryptographic protocols to be used for analysing WS-Security protocols. Finally, we demonstrate how this technique can be used to prove properties and discover attacks upon a proposed Microsoft WS-SecureConversation protocol.- Web Services - WS-specs - |

Mobile Web Services: A New Agent-Based FrameworkMay/June 2006. Mobile devices and server applications often run on different platforms, which can make integration problematic. Web services might offer a solution, but they typically include XML protocols that are too “heavy” for mobile devices. The authors’ proposed framework is designed to adapt Web services to mobile environments by using mobile agents to enable the development of high-performance Web service applications.- Web Services - |

Inducing Behavioral Adaptations Within Web Serviceshttp://webservices.sys-con.com/read/183955.htm Web services have evolved from plain application-integration enablers to value-added stand-alone functionality providers such as getting a quote to a comprehensive business function like processing orders. Enterprises are exploiting this new revenue model by offering such business functions as services on usage basis. Information sharing instances such as Amazon's e-commerce services have helped in the creation of new powerful solutions using business functions as services.

Playing Together Nicely: Getting REST and SOAP to Share Each Other's Toyshttp://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2006/02/15/jython-soap-interface-to-rest.html It's tremendously difficult to argue a RESTful approach to a service-oriented architecture (SOA), when the corporate mindshare is SOAP--where project stakeholders tout the SOA buzzword, nod their heads sagely when you say SOAP, nod their heads again when you say XML-RPC, and then look blankly when you mention REST. At an official level, it seems that for the IBMs, Suns, Microsofts, and Oracles (et al) of this world, REST isn't even on the radar; perhaps more because they would find it difficult to build a commercial strategy around something that is based on simplicity and standards (like HTTP) that have been around for years, than from a true lack of visibility at the coalface.- Web Services - REST - SOAP - |
