."NET Web Services is the authoritative guide to designing and architecting better Web services using Microsoft technologies. Written by Keith Ballinger, a Program Manager for XML Web Services at Microsoft, this book explains what Web services are, why they exist, and how they work in .NET. Readers will gain a thorough understanding of the technologies that allows them to take full advantage of .NET. The book opens with an introduction to Web services and Web services standards. It then explores .NET technologies and examines how the .NET Framework gives developers the tools they need to build Web service applications. The core of the book focuses on the key specifications that make up the Web services architecture, from HTTP to SOAP to WS-Security. ."NET Web Services concludes with the author's expert advice on architecting and designing Web service applications. Topics covered include: The features and pitfalls of Web servicesWeb services standardsCreating Web Services with ASP.NETCreating Web service clientsXML serialization with .NETExtending Web servicesTransport protocols for Web servicesXML and XML SchemasSOAPDescribing Web servicesDiscovering Web servicesMessaging with Web servicesSecuring Web servicesAdvanced messaging Best practices are illustrated throughout with full working examples as well as code samples using C# and ASP.NET Web services. A companion Web site at www.keithba.net includes all sample code from the book. Books in the Microsoft .NET Development Series are written and reviewed by the principal authorities and pioneering developers of the Microsoft .NET technologies, including the Microsoft .NET development team and DevelopMentor. Books in theMicrosoft .NET Development Series focus on the design, architecture, and implementation of the Microsoft .NET initiative to empower developers and students everywhere with the knowledge they need to thrive in the Microsoft .NET revolution.

" I commend this book to you as your springboard to the future of how to make the Net work." — from the Foreword by Simon Phipps, Chief Technology Evangelist, Sun Microsystems, Inc. This hands-on developer’ s guide to Web services prepares you for the next level of distributed computing. The authors clearly show how to implement and deploy Web services using Java while also explaining the fundamentals from the ground up. After providing a detailed introduction to Web services, they walk you through the Web services architecture and its core building blocks, including standards and technologies. You’ ll then learn how to develop Web services solutions using Sun Java Web Services Developer Pack (JWSDP 1.0) APIs and how to expose your J2EE applications as Web services. Focusing on concepts, technologies, and practical techniques, the authors: Discuss the evolving standards landscape for Web services, including the important developments to ebXMLPresent the Web services architecture using Java as well as building Web services from existing J2EE applicationsExplore and implement a case study using the Sun JWSDP 1.0 APIsDemonstrate Java Web services interoperability with Microsoft .NETWalk through the emerging Web services security standards and demonstrate how to implement security in Web servicesProvide examples using Sun JWSDP 1.0, BEA Weblogic 7.0, Apache Axis 1.0B3, Systinet WASP 4.0, Exolab CASTOR, IBM XML Security Suite, and Microsoft .NET The companion Web site contains all the code from the examples found in the book as well as updates and links to various tools.
