Web Service Technologies
Web Services rely on several pluggable technologies to seamlessly provide functionality to their clients and to invoke other Web Services. Understanding these technologies is important to Web Service developers. That means you can use any number of technologies, or other technologies that are not discussed in this chapter, and you'd use only those technologies you need. (However, it is generally recognized that SOAP is the base technology for Web Services.) None of the Web Services technologies use special tools; everything is text-based. This is a big difference from CORBA, in which you have to use special software and the whole flock of features and libraries. This section discusses these technologies.
