Building Web Service Wrappers for an XML-based System Book Review: "Call to Action" Sample Code: Proper Case ASP.NET Wiring Java Applications with Spring Taking Advantage of PEAR |
- Building Web Service Wrappers for an XML-based System
Giving external or internal clients direct access to existing applications isn't always practical, secure, or flexible. Instead, it's often better to provide Web service wrapper around existing applications. Such wrappers let you safely expose existing systems to both internal and external customers and can work with a variety of communication methods via configurable protocols.
