Introduction to Cape Clear and Web-Services

Web Services-Web Services are standards-based software components that can be accessed over the Internet. They combine the best aspects of component-based development and the Web, delivering true distributed "peer-to-peer" computing.Web Services are the building blocks for creating distributed applications that can be published and accessed over the Internet and corporate intranets. Based on open standards, Web Services enable you to construct applications using any hardware platform, programming model, or language.

Basic High level Steps in  Process.

1. The client program bundles the into a SOAP message.
2. This SOAP message is sent to the Web Service as the body of an HTTP POST request.
3. The Web Service unpacks the SOAP request and converts it into a command that the application can understand. The application processes the information as required and responds with a new unique account number for that customer.
4. Next, the Web Service packages up the response into another SOAP message, which it sends back to the client program in response to its HTTP request.
5. The client program unpacks the SOAP message to obtain the results of the account registration process.

Four XML-based technologies enable this:

Web Services Description Language (WSDL)
Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)
Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI)
Extensible Style sheet Language Transformations (XSLT)
Web Services can:

• Create new business opportunities and added customer value, by exposing services over the Internet.
• Revitalize existing applications for use within new, powerful, and integrated business solutions.
• Increase developer productivity, simplifying the task of distributed systems development.
• Bridge the gap between client-facing and infrastructure development teams.
• Provide a standards-based solution to software development, "future proofing" your IT investment.
