Primer for Web Services

Post by lshort »

Hi folks,

Can someone please recommend a reference (book, website, etc) for WebServices.

I wonder is there is a "Web Services for Dummies"?

Thx,
Lance

Step 1. Create a working DataStage job.

Code: Select all

stage  --->  stages  --->  stage
(The intermediate stages can include QualityStage plug-in if needed.)

Step 2. Add RTI Input and RTI Output stages to replace the passive stages.

Code: Select all

RTI Input  --->  stages  --->  RTI Output
Step 3. If the Web service is going to exchange XML documents, add XML Input and XML Output stages.

Code: Select all

RTI Input  --->  XML Input  --->  stages  --->  XML Output  --->  RTI Output
Step 4. Register the Web service. There is a GUI for this. You can specify how many instances you want - each becomes a permanently-running job (this is how they achieve best "real time").

Ray, I think Lance was looking for something a little more... generic... than that. :wink:

A good reference book about Web Services - the concept, not the specific DataStage implementation - even as a 'Dummies' book, would be good to get one's mitts on. Anybody have one they could recommend?

Ray, Thanks for DS oriented info. :-)

Craig is correct however. I want to learn the basics about Web Services.


BTW- I did some research on the WWW. These sites may prove useful.
