Web Services are self-describing, modular applications. The Web Services architecture can be thought of as a wrapper for the application code. This wrapper provides standardized means of: describing the Web Service and what it does; publishing it to a registry, so that it can easily be located; and exposing an interface, so that the service can be invoked - all in a machine-readable format. What is particularly compelling about Web Services is that they can be accessed by any client that understands XML, regardless of the platform, language, or object model. 
 This book provides a snapshot of the current state of these rapidly evolving technologies, beginning by detailing the main protocols that underpin the Web Services model (SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI), and then putting this theory to practical use in a wide array of popular toolkits, platforms, and development environments. 
 The technologies presented in this book provide the foundations of Web Services computing, which is set to revolutionize Distributed Computing, as we know it.

ebXML is a framework of specifications that enables businesses to collaborate electronically using XML-based technologies. The framework comprises modular components, addressing each of the key functions required to implement a complete e-business solution. These functions include: defining business processes and associated roles and activities, creating and publishing business profiles in a registry, storing business information in a repository, searching for other business partners, agreeing trading protocols, creating business documents, and sending them via secure and reliable messaging systems. 
 ebXML is open, interoperable, and affordable. Maintained by industry consortia (OASIS and UN/CEFACT) and based on XML, it allows companies to benefit from electronic trading via a global network regardless of size or geographical location, both within and across industries. 
 This book covers: 
 -An overview of electronic business and the interrelation of the ebXML framework components -Modeling business processes and documents with ebXML BPSS, UMM, and XML Schemas -Defining trading profiles and setting up collaborative agreements with ebXML CPP/CPA -Attracting and discovering business partners using ebXML Registry/Repository or UDDI -Creating business message payloads using ebXML Core Components, XML, and non-XML content -Transporting messages using ebXML Messaging Services, SOAP, JMS, and JAXM -Implementing secure, flexible ebXML solutions -Real world case studies

Web Services is a new paradigm and probably one of the most discussed subjects amongst the IT solution providers. It is a simple concept that enables grand integration of various blocks of existing web infrastructure. It uses XML based messaging standards like SOAP, WSDL, UDDI which will provide solutions to the industry for many more years. Open Source products like Linux, Apache, Perl, PHP are popular robust parts of web infrastructure. The rising need of SOAP based web services has prompted the development of libraries for various open source languages in line with some industry efforts around .NET and J2EE framework. 
What does this book cover? 
- A comprehensive discussion of Web Services Architecture and chemistry behind it 
- XML based messaging standards like XML-RPC, SOAP, WSDL and UDDI and their details 
- SOAP implementations in various languages like Perl, Java, PHP, C++, Ruby and Python with real world examples 
- In depth coverage of Web Services using Apache AXIS and SOAP::Lite 
- EJB Web Services using JBoss 
- Case study of designing web services from legacy application 
- Embedded Web Services in java applets and devices using Open Source product kSOAP 
- A complete chapter on Web Services security considerations and developing secure web services since E-Commerce relies heavily upon security 
- The book is organized to provide separate coverage on theoratical and practical aspects of web Services blended with Open Source products

Web Development & Design

Post Internet era has seen developments in web middleware. Application Servers quickly started Filling the gap. Tomcat is an application server built around the Java technology. It is a JSP and servlet container that can be attached to other popular web servers like Apache and IIS. It can act as a stand-alone web server as well. 
The JSP technology allows web developers to create dynamic web pages using XML-type tags or embedded Java. Servlets are components written in Java that can be invoked by servers. 
This book will provide the readers a complete discussion about Tomcat, its installation, configuration, use, and methods for securing it. This book goes a step further by providing discussion on issues like load balancing, shared hosting, load testing, and a lot more. In addition, readers will find a coverage on database connectivity using Tomcat. Tomcat is an open source web server that processes JavaServer Pages and Java Servlets. It can run as a stand-alone server or be integrated with Apache. Like Apache, the core Tomcat program is relatively simple, but there are many enhancements that can be added that make it much more complex. 
You will learn how to integrate Tomcat with the Apache HTTP server (and the situations when you should and you shouldn't), how to set up database connectivity through JDBC, and how to ensure your web applications are secure. 
It will also cover some of the tools that can be integrated with Tomcat, such as Ant (for automatically building web applications) and Log4J (for advanced logging). 
What does this book cover? 
- Tomcat 3.x, Tomcat 4.0.x, and Tomcat 4.1.x 
- The Tomcat architecture 
- Tomcat installation and configuration 
- Apache and Tomcat integration using the AJP and WARP connectors 
- Tomcat security with SSL, realms, and the Java Security Manager 
- Shared Tomcat hosting, server load testing, and load balancing 
- Managing and administering web applications 
- JDBC with Tomcat 
- Ant and Log4j 
This book will provide you, the server administrator, with the necessary knowledge to install and configure Tomcat, as well as many of the most popular enhancements to the Tomcat package. It will help you plan the installation and possible growth options of your site.

Tomcat is the official reference implementation for Java servlet and JSP technologies, and has long been heralded as an excellent platform for the development and deployment of powerful web applications. It can either run as a stand-alone server or integrate with the Apache web server to add more power to its serving capability. With more and more Tomcat servers finding their way into production, there is a need for Tomcat servers to run with a secure policy, and in that respect, security is becoming more of an imperative than a policy definition. A definitive security policy is a benchmark for analyzing the amount of trust that you can place on JSP pages, web applications, and the permissions that you can grant them. It is also your best line of defense against the potential vulnerabilities that can be targeted by Trojan Java packages, JSP tag libraries, and web applications. 
This book is targeted at Tomcat developers who are either contemplating the use of Tomcat for production-level deployment, or have already embraced this promising option. Readers of this book need a working knowledge of Java web applications and must be competent with JSPs and servlets.
