Virtualization - Cisco Reportedly Creates SOAP-Slipping RPC Protocol

Fri, 30 May 2008 12:30:00 EDT

According to CIO.com, Cisco has a new SOAP-replacing messaging protocol called Etch, born out of its Unified Application Environment (UAE), to integrate client/server applications. Cisco reportedly intends to beta the thing this summer as part of UAE 2.5 and ultimately open source it maybe under a Mozilla or Apache license. Apparently it could also replace CORBA and EJB.

Does Your SOA Include a Persistence Strategy?

Tue, 27 Dec 2005 14:00:00 EST

Truth be told, traditional approaches to integration are really about keeping persistence at the points, within the source or target systems, and replicating data as needed. However with the use of true services, there is a clear advantage in keeping some persistence at a central-tier, for any number of legitimate reasons. Let's explore this in the context of an SOA.

SOA Web Services: Does Your SOA Achieve Agility?

Thu, 10 Nov 2005 09:00:00 EST

Agility seems to be the buzzword du jour. There are 'agile enterprises,' 'agile manifestos,' 'agile programmers,' and 'agile architectures.' Slap 'agile' in front of just about anything and marketers believe it will sell better. Yet, one of the primary goals of using service-based architectures was to create 'agile systems.' This begs the question, was it just marketing or is there something to it?

How H&R Block Has Maximized Its Return on SOA Web Services

Working with service-oriented applications is a lot like doing your taxes because: there's really no avoiding it, you need to keep track of a number of different factors, you must maintain a record of data to protect against audits and plan for the future, and you'd better catch any mistakes or you'll have a problem on your hands faster than you can spell 'SOA.'

Advanced Web Services Policies & Microsoft WSE

Fri, 04 Jun 2004 00:00:00 EDT

While widely adopted or standardized security protocols are great for interoperability, a set of SOAP message header elements as well as a few new elements that belong in the message body are outside the scope of the existing mechanism for publishing service descriptions, which is WSDL.

Advanced Data Management with Web Services Using SOAP& XML Query

Fri, 11 Jan 2002 00:00:00 EST

The momentum behind Web services is building. If you haven't heard about them by now, you've probably been living in a jungle or some remote area for the last few years. The underlying technologies of Web services are XML, HTTP, SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI. XML provides an open standard for data exchange, HTTP an open transport protocol, SOAP a remote method invocation protocol, WSDL the service description language, and UDDI a service discovery and registry.

Sending Out-of-Band Messages to SOAP-Based Web Services

Sun, 21 Oct 2001 00:00:00 EDT

SOAP, the Simple Object Access Protocol, is a lightweight toolkit for building Web services. It is an amalgam of ubiquitous technologies - HTTP and XML. Though the likes of Microsoft, IBM, and the Apache Software Foundation normally have little in common, all support it as a foundation for deploying Web services. One of the great advantages of SOAP's lightweight nature is the simplicity of server-side programming. A SOAP service needs no knowledge of the SOAP environment. In fact, just about any Java class that exposes public methods can be turned into a SOAP service.
