March, 2003 Meeting - 7:00 PM
Using Apache Axis to Make Web Services Reliable
Apache Axis, an implementation of the JAX-RPC specification, has gained
widespread momentum as the de facto standard for SOAP processing in Java.
This presentation will examine how developers can build applications that
support one-way invocations and request/response messaging using JMS as the
underlying protocol. The following will also be discussed:
- Current work under way that will allow the Axis API to allow a Web service
client to receive asynchronous callbacks from a remote service using a
variety of protocols, bringing the use of asynchronous Web services beyond
the boundaries of JMS.
- The underlying message exchange correlation that enables Apache Axis'
asynchronous capabilities.
- The impact of WS-Reliability and how that can complement a JMS based
infrastructure to provide a reliable web services substrate.
- How the blending together of reliable messaging and web services in the
proper architecture can provide a standards based infrastructure for
integration across the extended enterprise.
