Web Services Defined

• W3C definition:• [Definition: A Web service is a software system

designed to support interoperable machine-to-machine interaction over a network. It has an interface described in a machine-processable format (specifically WSDL). Other systems interact with the Web service in a manner prescribed by its description using SOAP messages, typically conveyed using HTTP with an XML serialization in conjunction with other Web-related standards.]

• In reality: a very much more cloudy definition

Overview SOAP & Web services

• Simple Object Access Protocol: • A light-weight & ultra heterogenic alternative to

CORBA, DCOM & RMI• Openness in focus• Not meant in the role of large scale, transaction

heavy communication (as CORBA & J2EE)• Limited support for services for transactions,

concurrency, persistence, scalability• Does have Interface Definition Language for

heterogeneity (WSDL)• Fails on several of the dist. system

requirements!• Easy to implement yourself• And many, many frameworks

Alternatives to Web servicesbased on SOAP/WSDL

• Hessian (binary Web services)• XML-RPC (more simple, SOAP Origins)• RESTFull Web services (close to HTTP)• JSON (mainly for AJAX )• Burlap (much like XML-RPC but with DTO’s)

Compare: heterogenity (platform, OS, language), feasibility (ease-of-use & access transparency), object model/IDL, encoding, communication protocol, performance, price/openness, supported services


Java RMI

• In Java 1.0 object communication confined VM• Remote Method Invocation (RMI) from Java 1.1• Tight OO integration with Java• Work in heterogeneous environment• Designed for inter-Java communicatioin

(UnicastRemoteObject/JRMP )• Limited support for inter-prog. (PortableObject IIOP)

Java RMI features

• Build on Java’s existing object model -> easy• No need for IDL – use Java interfaces• Arguments & return values can be all types

specializing java.io.Serilizable or java.rmi.Remote• Distributed Garbage Collection• BUT NOT IN JME!!!

.NET Remoting

• .NET Remoting for intra-business purposes

• Is only heterogeneous across CLS languages

• Not supported by the .NET compact framework

• Relies on either HTTP/SOAP or TCP/Binary protocols,

• May be adapted for any type of protocol

• Is fast when used with TCP/Binary

• Only heterogeneity within .NET runtime

• In many ways very similar to Java RMI in Java 5

Simplified .NET Remoting Architecture

Using the classic Proxy patternUsing the classic Proxy pattern

Channel:

Takes a stream of data and transports it to another computer or process:

Default: TcpChannel & HttpChannel

Remotable Objects in .NET Remoting

• Marshal-by-reference objects• By-reference – no state is transferred• MarshalByRefObject • Corresponds to CORBA Interface IDL and Java RMI Remote

objects (UnicastRemote objects)• Proxy created

• Marshal-by-value objects• By-value – complete object is serialized and transferred• Implements ISerializable or decorated with Serializable

Attribute [Serializable]• Very similar to Java RMI Serializable objects• Some similarity with CORBA valuetypes (Objects by Value)

The IHelloWorld Interface

using System;

namespace RemotingHelloServer{

// IHelloWorld is the interface for the HelloWorld server class.// It is the interface that is shared across the Internetpublic interface IHelloWorld{

string sayHello(string name); }

}

using System;

namespace RemotingHelloServer{

// IHelloWorld is the interface for the HelloWorld server class.// It is the interface that is shared across the Internetpublic interface IHelloWorld{

string sayHello(string name); }

}

Introducing WCF

• Windows Vista => .NET Framework 3.0• Also for Windows XP and 2003 Server

• Unified Service-Oriented Programming Model

• Replaces / Suplements • .NET Remoting• DCOM• ASP.NET Web services• MSMQ (Queued Messaging) • .NET Enterprise Services

• Protocol Neutrality and Flexibility

WCF Basic Concepts

• Remote system (like .NET Remoting) is:• Exchanging Messages

• Using Channels, consisting of

• Encodeders• Transports

• Also called the Channel layer

• On top of this is the Service Model Layer

WCF Architecture

Bindings

• Many Bindings:

• Interopable• basicHttpBinding• webHttpBinding• wsHttpBinding, wsFederationHttpBinding

• WCF Specific• netTCPBinding• netPeerTcpBinding• netNamedPipeBinding• netMsmqBinding

• MSMQ interop• MsmqlIntegrationBinding

• Extensible (write your own)

Choose your Binding

• Before – you had to choose different middlewares• Now – just choose different bindings

Bindings in WCF

Contracts

• Like in ASP.NET – only expose explict annotated operations

Meta Data

• Two ways of sharing contracts• WSDL or Shared Contract DLL

Hosting Services

• Two models supported• Self-hosting: own process (console, winform)

• WAS hosting

• Windows Activation Service• IIS (Supported by IIS7, emulated for IIS6 for

HTTP/S)

Configuration File

<configuration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0"> <system.serviceModel> <services>  <service type="MathService">  <endpoint address="http://localhost/MathService/Ep1" binding="wsHttpBinding" contract="IMath"/> </service> </services> </system.serviceModel></configuration>
