Web Services Implementation Guide

Getting value from stuff you don't own is a compelling idea. Just think, someone else has created something that has value, and has given it or loaned it to you so you can leverage that value in ways that makes all parties richer. That's the promise of web services. Web services is all about exposing your services to your customers, whether they are external business partners or internal departments. Web services forces you to think of your information assets in a service-oriented view. Don?

This book embarks on a mission to dissect, unravel and demystify the concepts of Web services, including their implementation and composition techniques. It provides a comprehensive perspective on the fundamentals of implementation standards and strategies for Web services (in the first half of the book), while also presenting composition techniques for leveraging existing services to create larger ones (in the second half). Pursuing a unique approach, it begins with a sound overview of concepts, followed by a targeted technical discussion that is in turn linked to practical exercises for hands-on learning. For each chapter, practical exercises are available on Github. Mainly intended as a comprehensive textbook on the implementation and composition of Web services, it also offers a useful reference guide for academics and practitioners. Lecturers will find this book useful for a variety of courses, from undergraduate courses on the foundational technology of Web services through graduate courses on complex Web service composition. Students and researchers entering the field will benefit from the combination of a broad technical overview with practical self-guided exercises. Lastly, professionals will gain a well-informed grasp of how to synthesize the concepts of conventional and “newer” breeds of Web services, which they can use to revise foundational concepts or for practical implementation tasks.

& Includes a detailed case study - with complete source code - of building Web Services with Java AND .Net. & & Covers key emerging standards in transactioning, conversations, workflow, security and authentication, mobile and wireless, QoS, portlets, and management. & & Presents best practices based on authors' experiences building real world Web Services-based applications.

In this book you'll learn the concepts of SOAP based Web Services architecture and get practical advice on building and deploying Web Services in the enterprise. Starting from the basics and the best practices for setting up a development environment, this book enters into the inner details of the JAX-WS in a clear and concise way. You will also learn about the major toolkits available for creating, compiling and testing SOAP Web Services and how to address common issues such as debugging data and securing its content.

There are a considerable number of options available to architects and developers when it comes to Web service security. The WEB SERVICE SECURITY guide helps developers and architects make the most appropriate security decisions in the context of the solution's requirements. This asset contains reliable, accurate guidance on how to design and implement secure Web services.

Written by industry thought leaders, Java Web Services Architecture is a no-nonsense guide to web services technologies including SOAP, WSDL, UDDI and the JAX APIs. This book is useful for systems architects and provides many of the practical considerations for implementing web services including authorization, encryption, transactions and the future of Web Services. Covers all the standards, the JAX APIs, transactions, security, and more.

Oral diseases affect about 3.5 billion people around the world. As well as impacting health, they also affect overall well-being and quality of life, especially where resources for prevention, diagnosis and treatment are limited. Approaches based on new digital health technologies can contribute to better oral health for all. In the context of the Be He@lthy Be Mobile initiative, the World Health Organization and the International Telecommunication Union have developed "Mobile technologies for oral health: an implementation guide." This new resource provides guidance on promoting oral health, training health workers, detecting oral health conditions, collecting epidemiological data, and monitoring the quality of patient care, all through mobile technologies. It will help countries develop and implement mOralHealth programmes to complement existing oral health programmes. The handbook is intended to assist policy- and decision-makers and implementers to realize a national or large-scale mOralHealth programme.
