<para>In complex IT environments it is often necessary to integrate |
different information systems with each other, exchange data between |
software tools and automate actions based on events arising from user |
interaction. Web Services is a popular way to make remote functions |
available to a broad range of clients. A WebService is independent |
from platforms and programming languages. XML Messages are exchanged |
through common protocols like TCP/IP or SMTP, processed and returned |
(request/ response paradigm).</para> |
<para>Because of their nature, WebServices are a great technology to |
overcome system boundaries and to "orchestrate" your IT environment. |
They make up the basis for SOA and are the pieces that assemble |
automated business processes.</para> |
<para>XServices is a collection of pre-build WebServices with the |
intention to avoid duplicate work and "re-inventing the wheel". The |
historical base for XServices is the 'XBridgeNG' software, which |
provided a set of Apache Ant Tasks with quite the same intention. The |
available WebService operations are most likely the "most wanted" |
ones, some of them for sure are "must have". This collection may |
overlap with other libraries. In summary the current version contains |
8 WebServices with over 50 operations.</para> |
