| Abstract: |
Whilst IBM and Microsoft continue to generate interest in Web Services on their platforms and tools, there's a whole new world developing in open source support. In this report we look at what the options are and why you might adopt the open source approach. |
| Backgrounder: |
If much of the ethos of the open source movement is about being to be able to inspect the source code, and improve on it where necessary, then the idea of a using a service that encapsulates and hides the implementation sounds contradictory.
Web Services start with the same premise of openness. Everything you need to know about a Web Service in order to use it should be available for inspection via the various Web Service Protocols. Except of course the service requestor is unable to change anything in that description or affect the behavior of the service.
