Résumé
XML, Web Services, and the Data Revolution presents a revealing view of XML that places this emerging technology in the context of the ongoing Web revolution. Written for business and technical professionals, this book features the big picture: the true value of XML for distributed information systems, how it is transforming the way organizations manage data and build software systems, and the opportunities it offers for those organizations that understand its significance and impact.
This book places XML at the heart of a paradigm shift away from tightly coupled proprietary network systems (DCOM and CORBA) toward the new loosely coupled confederation of networked servers that provide asynchronous, dynamic data interaction. It explains XML's fundamental rules for defining data vocabularies and structuring data, as well as XML presentation and manipulation technologies. The book also discusses in detail SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol), the framework for XML exchange, and Web services, which defines XML protocols for discovery and connection. It showcases XML at work in a wide array of applications, and explores how major software organizations have responded to the changes brought about by XML-based technology.
You will read about such specific topics as:
- XML and the XML family of technologies
- CSS, XSL, XHTML, and VoiceXML presentation technologies
- XSLT, XPATH, and XQUERY technologies for manipulating XML
- XML as a protocol language for distributed object computing
- How XML applies to a wide array of industries and applications
- SOAP and the associated XML-RPC protocoland WDSL (Web Services Definition Language)
- XML security, including XML Encryption, XML Signature, and XML Key Management Specification
- How .NET and J2EE fit into the Web services framework
- A new role for mainframe-based legacy applications
Containing both technical details and a broader perspective, XML, Web Services, and the Data Revolution provides the insight organizations must have to understand and harness this powerful technology for a successful venture into the evolving distributed, Web-based enterprise computing environment.
