Web Services Wizardry with Websphere Studio Application Developer

Product Description
This IBM Redbook explores the new WebSphere Studio Application Developer for J2EE application development and WebServices. The WebSphere Studio Application Developer basic tooling and team environment is presented along with the development and deployment of Web Applications (JSPs and servlets), XML, data, EJBs and Web services. WebSphere Studio Application Developer is the new IBM tool for Java development for client and server applications. It provides a Java integrated development environment (IDE) that is designed to provide rapid development for J2EE-based applications. It is well integrated with WebSphere Application Server Version 4 and provides a built-in single server that can be used for testing of J2EE applications. Web services are a new breed of Web applications. Web services are self-contained, self-describing, modular applications that can be published, located, and invoked across the Web. Web services perform callable functions that can be anything from a simple request to complicated business processes. Once a Web service is deployed and registered, other applications can discover and invoke the deployed service. The foundation for Web services are the simple object access protocol (SOAP), the Web services description language (WSDL), and the Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) registry. This redbook consists of three parts: an introduction of the sample auto parts application that is used throughout the book, J2EE development and deployment with WebSphere Studio Application Developer, and Web services technology along with the development and deployment of Web services in WebSphere Studio Application Developer.

Policies for Web Services: Improving the Description of Services

Product Description
Web services are predominantly used to implement service-oriented architectures (SOA). However, there are several areas such as temporal dimensions, real-time, streaming, or efficient and flexible file transfers where needs arise to extend web service functionality. These extensions can, for example, be achieved using web service policies (WS-Policies). Since there are often alternative solutions to provide functionality (e.g., different protocols can be used to achieve the transfer of data), the WS-Policy standard is especially useful to extend web service descriptions with policies. The standard describes how to create policies to generally state the properties under which a service is provided. Two novel policies are presented as well as their applicability to several areas, such as streaming, real-time, transfer of data, and usability.
