How do yo define a Web Service?

1 reply

by irina medvinskaya

A Web Service is programmable application logic accessible via standard Web protocols. One of these Web protocols is the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). SOAP is a W3C submitted note (as of May 2000) that uses standards based technologies (XML for data
description and HTTP for transport) to encode and transmit application data.

Web Services are applications and components made available over the Web via XML and SOAP, and are the key programmable building blocks of the next-generation Internet.

Consumers of a Web Service do not need to know anything about the platform, object model, or programming language used to
implement the service; they only need to understand how to send and receive SOAP messages (HTTP and XML).
