(Untitled)- (Found June 24, 2008 ) If WSDL were as easy to write as this, then humans could write it by hand, and that in turn might make it easier for tools to do it automatically. But the gating factor is not WSDL syntax. It's the typelessness of dynamic languages. ...http://radio.weblogs.com/0100887/categories/webServices/2002/01/24.html#a39 WS-Routing and Rohit Khare's active proxies- (Found June 24, 2008 ) WS-Routing, active proxies, PEP ...http://radio.weblogs.com/0100887/categories/webServices/2002/02/25.html#a93 Simon Fell on SOAP-RP and WS-Routing- (Found June 24, 2008 ) Simon Fell on SOAP-RP and WS-Routing ...http://radio.weblogs.com/0100887/categories/webServices/2002/02/25.html#a94 Simon Fell on reliable SOAP messaging- (Found June 24, 2008 ) Simon connects the dots ...http://radio.weblogs.com/0100887/categories/webServices/2002/02/25.html#a95 Is web services orchestration a new class of problem- (Found June 24, 2008 ) I agree with the RESTian argument that SOAP-accessible web services should support HTTP GET where appropriate. The notion is that this will help ensure low coordination costs both for person-to-machine as well as machine-to-machine communication. ...http://radio.weblogs.com/0100887/categories/webServices/2002/06/17.html#a305 Web services and the web ecosystem- (Found June 24, 2008 ) Adam Bosworth gave a whirlwind tour of BEA's WebLogic Workshop. After the obligatory Hello World, he dived into the good stuff. Cajun (I'll still call it that, for brevity) takes the web services mantra of loose coupling very seriously. It separates interfaces from implementations by generating XML grammars, called maps. In a nutshell, your map abstracts away from member variables in implementation code. An element in the map, say <PERSON>, is not sensitive to changes in the names of...http://radio.weblogs.com/0100887/categories/webServices/2002/05/16.html#a246 Linking to SOAP-exposed resources- (Found June 24, 2008 ) Since the RESTRPCSOAP discussion flared up again, I've been looking for a single clear statement about what kind of problem may exist, and what to do about it. I found it in Paul Prescod's Google's Gaffe: The point that has not yet filtered through to the mainstream of web services implementors is that linking is just as important for machine-to-machine applications as it is for human-facing applications. If it is impossible to link to SOAP-exposed resources, then they are less powerful and...http://radio.weblogs.com/0100887/categories/webServices/2002/05/02.html#a213 Visualizing Googlespace- (Found June 24, 2008 ) I've received a number of interesting responses to my current BYTE.com column on the Google API. Nelson Minar, former Popular Power CTO who's now with Google, wrote to point out that since HTML doctitles are of uncertain quality, the snippets (relevant text chunks) returned by the Google API might form an interesting search space. When I tried that, though, the results didn't seem to diverge enough. The name of the game, in this kind of surfing, is to chart a course through googlespace...http://radio.weblogs.com/0100887/categories/webServices/2002/04/30.html#a210 The Google API is a two-way street- (Found June 24, 2008 ) Google's new SOAP API seemed to follow a boom-and-bust trajectory. Everyone was excited about it until it arrived. Then doubts arose. "Bah," scoffed Edd Dumbill in an O'Reilly Network column (http:www.oreillynet.comcsweblogviewwlg1303), "what a waste of space for something that can be done in one line of shell script." Edd's point -- that an HTML-screenscraping alternative to the Google SOAP API is easy to hack together -- is quite correct. But the conclusion -- that Google's SOAP API is silly..http://radio.weblogs.com/0100887/categories/webServices/2002/04/29.html#a209 Pipelining the Web- (Found June 24, 2008 ) I had another look at the W3C's XSLT service. Turns out you can send it parameters after all. The syntax seems a bit outdated, but it works fine. Now the original solution to the Nasa newsfeed seems silly. All that was really needed was a parameterized stylesheet and three URLS, one for each channel. ...http://radio.weblogs.com/0100887/categories/webServices/2002/03/27.html#a153 |
