A Very Short History of Web Services
Web services evolved from the RPC (Remote Procedure Call) mechanism in DCE (Distributed Computing Environment), a framework for software development from the early 1990s. DCE includes a distributed filesystem (DCE/DFS) and a Kerberos-based authentication system. Although DCE has its origins in the Unix world, Microsoft quickly did its own implementation known as MSRPC, which in turn served as the infrastructure for interprocess communication in Windows. Microsoft’s COM/OLE (Common Object Model/Object Linking and Embedding) technologies and services were built on a DCE/RPC foundation. There is irony here. DCE designed RPC as a way to do distributed computing (i.e., computing across distinct physical devices), and Microsoft cleverly adapted RPC to support interprocess communication, in the form of COM infrastructure, on a single device—a PC running Windows.
The first-generation frameworks for distributed object systems, CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) and Microsoft’s DCOM (Distributed COM), are anchored in the DCE/RPC procedural framework. Java RMI (Remote Method Invocation) also derives from DCE/RPC, and the method calls in Java EE (Enterprise Edition), specifically in Session and Entity EJBs (Enterprise Java Bean), are Java RMI calls. Java EE (formerly J2EE) and Microsoft’s DotNet are second-generation frameworks for distributed object systems, and these frameworks, like CORBA and DCOM before them, trace their ancestry back to ...
