The )roblem! Integration
Integrating soft'are applications across multiple operating s"stems. programming languages. and
hard'are platforms is
(ifficult
1ot something that can be solved b an one particular proprietar environment
Traditionall". the problem has been one of tight1coupling

2ne application that calls a remote network is tied strongl to it b the function call it makes and the parameters
it re3uests

4i5ed interface to access remote programs or data$ with little fle5ibilit or adaptabilit to changing environments
or needs
What are Web services!

self6contained software components$

with well6defined interfaces 7WS("8$

that can be invoked over a network using


9M" and S2A) 7for message formats8

Web Service

A Web Service is a special Web Application

A web application gets invoked b sending a re3uest from a browser

A web service is a program that gets invoked b sending a re3uest from


a program

The are both using the :TT),:TT)S protocol to receive re3uests


and return information to the re3uester&

Allowing to easil access the web service via the internet or intranet

?ou can sa a web service is a callable program that is accessible from
