Components of SOAP web service

Main components of SOAP web service

UDDI
·        It stands for Universal Description, Discovery and Integration
·        It is a directory service which is kind of repository of all the web services.
·        All the web services have to be registered with the UDDI and make them available for the discovery.
·        So anyone who wants to use the service will go and search the UDDI and then start using that service.

Web service description language (WSDL)
·        It’s an XML file which describes the complete web service.
·        It includes the details like end point, port number, method names, arguments, data types, communication protocol, message format, security etc.
·        This is a standard provided by W3C consortium and widely accepted for web services description.
·        The WSDL file has to be published publicly so that it helps the consumers to understand the service and consume it.

WSDL contains below elements

Definitions
It is a root element in WSDL file; it contains set of name space declarations which are used throughout the WSDL file.

Types
  • Defines the data types used by the web service and they are specified by the XML schema.
  • Types can be defined in a separate XSD file and then XSD file can be imported in the WSDL.
  • The advantage of maintaining types in a separate XSD is that it can be reused across many WSDLs if required.
  • We just need to import the XSD in the WSDL file.


Message
  • It is the data that is being exchanged between service providers and consumers.
  • It represents how the request and response should be.


Binding
  • We need information like what protocol the web service is bound to and what is the message format it is using.
  • So this information is bound to web service (specifically interface) using binding element in WSDL.


Operation
  • Describes the action to be performed by the web service, it also contains the request and response for that action.


Service
  • It describes the end point of the service, which is the address where the service is available.

Endpoint
  • It describes the address of the web service in the network along with the associated protocol and messaging format.


Stub and Skeleton
·      In any client service communication, there will be lower level components which actually helps the communication by performing some steps.
·        At client side, this low level component is called stub.
·        At server side, this low level component is called skeleton.
·        Client communicate with the stub, stub then invokes the actual service.
·  And at the server side, skeleton receives the request, understands it and then passes it to the actual service.

SOAP
·    Simple Object Access Protocol is a XML specification for web services message format and its communication over the network.
·   So SOAP basically describes message format and the transport method of a web service.
·        It allows the web service to communicate using HTTP and XML
·        It encodes the messages in XML and hence it is more secure.

Java Event Delegation Model, Listener and Adapter Classes

Image
Java Event Delegation Model The Delegation Event model is one of the many techniques used to handle events in GUI (Graphical User Interface) programming languages. GUI represents a system where an user visually/graphically interacts with the system. Other interactive systems are text based or called CUI (Character User Interface). CUI interacts with the system by typing out commands in the console. GUI programming is inherently event driven; that means, whenever an user initiates an activity such as a mouse move that changes the co-ordinates of the mouse pointer in the screen, or clicks a button, scrolls a page, and so forth, each is deemed as an event that the GUI event handler maps the activity to a piece of code that explains what response the application should provide to the user. Any program that uses GUI (graphical user interface) such as Java application written for windows, is event driven. Event describes the change in state of any object.  For Example:  Pre...

ક્લાઉડ કમ્પ્યુટિંગ એટલે શું? તેના પ્રકાર અને ફાયદાઓ

     ક્લાઉડ કમ્પ્યુટિંગ એ એક એવી તકનીક છે જે વપરાશકર્તાઓને તેમના સ્થાનિક કમ્પ્યુટર અથવા ડેટા સેન્ટરને બદલે ઇન્ટરનેટ પર સર્વર, સ્ટોરેજ, ડેટાબેસેસ, એપ્લિકેશન્સ અને અન્ય સેવાઓ જેવા કમ્પ્યુટિંગ સંસાધનોને ઍક્સેસ કરવા સક્ષમ બનાવે છે. ક્લાઉડ કમ્પ્યુટિંગમાં, વપરાશકર્તાઓ માંગ પર આ સંસાધનોને ઍક્સેસ કરી શકે છે, અને તેમના પોતાના ભૌતિક હાર્ડવેર અને ઇન્ફ્રાસ્ટ્રક્ચર ખરીદવા અને જાળવવાને બદલે તેઓ જે વાપરે છે તેના માટે જ ચૂકવણી કરી શકે છે.     ક્લાઉડ કમ્પ્યુટિંગ પ્રદાતાઓ જેમ કે Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, અને Google Cloud Platform પાસે સમગ્ર વિશ્વમાં સ્થિત ડેટા સેન્ટર્સ છે જે ક્લાઉડ કમ્પ્યુટિંગ સેવાઓની શ્રેણી ઓફર કરે છે.     ક્લાઉડ કમ્પ્યુટિંગ સામાન્ય રીતે ત્રણ અલગ-અલગ મોડલમાં વિતરિત કરવામાં આવે છે:  ઇન્ફ્રાસ્ટ્રક્ચર એઝ એ સર્વિસ (IaaS) પ્લેટફોર્મ એઝ એ સર્વિસ (PaaS) સોફ્ટવેર એઝ એ સર્વિસ (SaaS).      IaaS વપરાશકર્તાઓને વર્ચ્યુઅલાઈઝ્ડ કમ્પ્યુટિંગ સંસાધનોની ઍક્સેસ પ્રદાન કરે છે, જેમ કે સર્વર, સ્ટોરેજ અને નેટવર્કિંગ, જેનો ઉપયોગ તેમની પોતા...

Cluster Computing & Grid Computing

Cluster Computing A computer cluster is a group of linked computers, working together closely thus in many respects forming a single computer.  The components of a cluster are connected to each other through fast local area networks J Requirements for computing increasing fast.  More data to process. More compute intensive algorithms available. J   Approaches to supply demand Qualitative: Optimized algorithms, faster processors, more memory.  Quantitative: Cluster computing, grid computing, etc. J Cluster categorizations High Availability Cluster Load Balancing Cluster HPC Cluster J High Availability Clusters Failover Clusters, mainly implemented to improve the availability of service that cluster provides  They operates by having redundant nodes, upon failure the standby node take cares Types of High availability clusters: one way & two way  Often used for critical  databases, network files sharing an...
