Cross-Platform Web Services using C# & Java

Everything you need to deploy Web services across multiple operating systems!

As the need for application-to-application communication and platform interoperability continues to grow, Web service developers need to be skilled in the technologies and languages that make this communication possible. Web services provide a language and platform independent standard for creating and connecting code that allows software applications (remote objects) to communicate with each other and users, via a network or the Web. Rather than focus on one specific technology or language, Cross-Platform Web Services Using C# and Java teaches how to integrate the various technologies of Web services using the two languages expected to dominate this growing area.

• Focuses on the cross-platform interoperability of Web services
• Teaches all of the technologies and underlying standards of Web services, including XML, WSDL, and UDDI
• Covers development of .NET and Java Web services
• Shows how to integrate applications developed with other languages and legacy systems
• Separate chapter on cross-platform implementation of Web service security including firewalls, SSL, ID, XML signatures, and testing
• Covers latest Web services tools of the Apache group, including SOAP, Axis and TOMCAT
• CD-ROM includes complete source code for all examples and projects
