GEO-position web service for postal codes/zip codes?

Is there a web service for finding longitude and latitude coordinates from postal codes and zip codes?

Java to WSDL nillable?

Tue, 02 Feb 2010 20:48:37 -0700

baddog posted a new message on the WEB-Services / SOAP forum.

When I generate my wsdl from Java code all of the attributes are set to nillable="true".

I update the wsdl to have nillable="false" for the attributes that must be populated but when the WAR file get's deployed the wsdl sets everything back to nillable="true".

Is there a way to force the wsdl to be unchanged or to create it with the attributes set to nillable=false?

BTW, im using JAX-RPC, AXIS in Tomcat environment.

Any help would be appreciated.

Java Web services: Introducing Metro

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 10:41:53 -0700

Solrac submitted a new article.

The Metro Web service stack provides a comprehensive solution for accessing and implementing Web services. It's based on the reference implementations of the JAXB 2.x and JAX-WS 2.x Java™ standards, with added components to support WS-* SOAP extension technologies and actual Web service deployment. This article looks at the basic principles of Metro client and server development.

Using Google Web Services API in Java

Thu, 01 Oct 2009 16:42:57 -0700

codebeach submitted a new article.

Google uses SOAP and WSDL standards to allow access from most programming languages. In addition to the SOAP access, Google has created a set of Java wrapper classes that encapsulates access to the Google Web APIs. This tutorial discusses the Java classes and the functionality of the Google web services.

Solrac submitted a new article.

Get an introduction to the principles of public key cryptography, then see how WS-Security applies them for signing and encrypting SOAP messages using public-private key pairs in combination with secret keys. Includes example code using Axis2 and Rampart.

Web Services Validation Tool for WSDL and SOAP

Fri, 30 Jan 2009 13:10:17 -0700

Solrac submitted a new article called 'Web Services Validation Tool for WSDL and SOAP'.

With the Web Services Validation Tool for WSDL and SOAP, Web services developers are able to validate Web services messages without deploying actual Web services applications to application servers. This saves a lot of time and effort in deployment and maintenance of test servers. It can be deployed to validate Web services messages and filter invalid or malicious Web services messages. This provides Web services to operate in a more secure and efficient environment.

SOAP and Windows App. communication

Sat, 24 Jan 2009 12:01:28 -0700

AsAdi posted a new message on the .NET General forum.

Dear Experts

I ave a Windows application,requires to have an online communication with another Windows App and a WEB service,as I've studied,I can us SOAP to exchange data between 2 application,independent of their platform,but I'm a begginer in this field.I have a good back ground in Windows Sucket programming,a weak back ground in WEB programmin and a good one in Windows application programming usin VC++ and VC#.All documents I've studied have examples about SOAP using HTTP,but how about an Inranet or a local LAN,how 2 applications can use suc a protocol to exchange data on a local LAN?
Any guide lines is highly appreciated

Sincerely,Reza AsAdi

REST and .NET 3.5 Part 1 - why REST based services?

Sat, 04 Oct 2008 14:25:20 -0700

vbweb submitted a new article called 'REST and .NET 3.5 Part 1 - why REST based services?'.

Why has REST been getting so much attention recently? It's no accident that Yahoo, Google and Amazon have chosen not to use SOAP to expose their APIs. Learn some of the issues of using SOAP, and how a RESTful based architecture can resolve some of these.

How can we host a service on two different protocols on a single server?

Let’s first understand what this question actually means. Let’s say we have made a service and we want to host this service using HTTP as well as TCP. You must be wondering why to ever host services on two different types of protocol. When we host a service it’s consumed by multiple types of client and it’s very much possible that they have there own protocol of communication. A good service has the capability to downgrade or upgrade its protocol according the client who is consuming him.
Let’s do a small sample in which we will host the ServiceGetCost on TCP and HTTP protocol.

Once we are done the server side coding its time to see make a client by which we can switch between the protocols and see the results. Below is the code snippet of the client side for multi-protocol hosting.

What is the difference WCF and Web services?

Web services can only be invoked by HTTP. While Service or a WCF component can be invoked by any protocol and any transport type. Second web services are not flexible. But Services are flexible. If you make a new version of the service then you need to just expose a new end point. So services are agile and which is a very practical approach looking at the current business trends.
