Web Services
Web services are the basis of distributed computing across the Internet. A web service consumer locates a web service and invokes the operations it provides. The web service provider (the application implementing the web service) can be on the same machine as the one using it, or it can be thousands of miles away. Web services use standard web protocols such as XML, SOAP, and HTTP. |
