he Web services concept—connecting standardized components via well-advertised interfaces—seems as if it would make for simple programming. While there are developer tools available to ease the creation process, there is a need for detailed knowledge of the programming domain. There are several key implementation choices that make the difference between a difficult project and one that sails along.
The first article in this series described good design practices; this article will discuss specific development techniques that will get you quickly past the more complicated programming challenges that will arise.
These techniques fall into four general categories:
- Enhancing Interoperability
- Adding Security to your Web Service
- Choosing the Right Development and Testing Tools
- Preparing for Deployment
