This chapter gives you an idea of all the latest standards related to web services.
Transports
BEEP, the Blocks Extensible Exchange Protocol (formerly referred to
as BXXP), is a framework for building application protocols. It has been
standardized by IETF and it does for Internet protocols what XML has
done for data.
Messaging
These messaging standards and specifications are intended to give a
framework for exchanging information in a decentralized, distributed
environment.
Description and discovery
Web services are meaningful only if potential users may find
information sufficient to permit their execution. The focus of these
specifications and standards is the definition of a set of services
supporting the description and discovery of businesses, organizations,
and other web services providers; the web services they make available;
and the technical interfaces which may be used to access those services.
Security
Using these security specifications, applications can engage in
secure communication designed to work with the general web services
framework.
Management
Web services manageability is defined as a set of capabilities for
discovering the existence, availability, health, performance, usage, as
well as the control and configuration of a web service within the web
services architecture. As web services become pervasive and critical to
business operations, the task of managing and implementing them is
imperative to the success of business operations.
