Five lucky attendees of this event will be randomly selected to receive a free copy of Lonnie's new book, "Building Web Services and .NET Applications." Page down for book details.
DESCRIPTION While it is possible to integrate Windows applications
with Java using interfaces like COM/CORBA bridges or TCP Sockets, the end
points of these interfaces tend to be proprietary and difficult to use. With
Web services, however, it is possible to provide public interfaces that are
built on open standards such as HTTP, SOAP and WSDL. In addition, the new
Microsoft Visual Studio .NET development environment makes it very easy to
build and consume Web services. With this in mind we'll look at what is
involved with taking an existing Java application and consuming it in a .NET
Windows Forms application.
We'll start the Webcast with a quick overview of a Java application that
we plan to interface with and the tasks required to make it a Web service.
This is an actual application used to handle timecard entries over the
Internet that is in production today. Next we'll discuss the Web Service
Description Language (WSDL) and describe how to create one for the Java Web
service we create. Once the WSDL file is created we'll discuss how to add a
Web reference to the new Web service in Visual Studio .NET and then use that
Web service in an application. While building the application we also
discuss other key concepts in .NET such as using the NetworkCredential
object for authentication and binding DataSets to Grid Controls.
Key topics discussed in this Webcast are:
- Adding Web services to a Java application
- Creating WSDL files
- Consuming Web services with .NET
- Using .NET Security components
