What Is in This Guide
This book is divided into five chapters. Here is a brief description of what each chapter contains:
This chapter discusses the WS-I. It includes the following topics:
- Why the WS-I was formed
- The organizational structure of the WS-I
- The problems the WS-I addresses, and those it does not
- The deliverables the WS-I provides
Chapter 2: The WS-I Deliverables
To encourage interoperability, the WS-I is creating a series of profiles, which will define how the underlying components of any Web service must work together. Chapter 2 discusses the first of these profiles, called the Basic Profile, and includes the following topics:
- The Basic Profile's underlying principles
- An explanation of the WS-I usage scenarios
- An explanation of the WS-I sample application, which demonstrates how to write a compliant Web service
- An explanation of the testing tools, which check that your implementation follows the Basic Profile guidelines
Chapter 3: How to Apply the Basic Profile
This chapter lists some general practices you should follow for writing Web services or clients that conform to Basic Profile.
Chapter 4: Applying Basic Profile Rules When Implementing Web Services
This chapter assigns each of the profile's rules to one of four possible levels of compliancy and, on a rule-by-rule basis, shows how to adjust your code to make your Web service comply with the profile's rules.
Chapter 5: Applying Basic Profile Rules When Consuming Web Services
This chapter assigns each of the profile's rules to one of four possible levels of compliancy and, on a rule-by-rule basis, shows how to adjust your code to make your Web service client comply with the profile's rules.
Appendix A groups the Basic Profile's rules according to their level of compliancy for implementing a Web service.
Appendix B groups the Basic Profile's rules according to their level of compliancy for implementing a Web service client.
