Abstract

This chapter presents the story of a business trip that illustrates the way in which a service-oriented architecture and Web Services might be used in the not-too-distant future. It provides a vision of the way a service-oriented architecture might work in an organization. Web Services refers to the technologies that allow for making connections. Services are what you connect together using Web Services. A service is the endpoint of a connection. Also, a service has some type of underlying computer system that supports the connection offered. The combination of services—internal and external to an organization—makes up a service-oriented architecture; a term that is less commonly used is “composite application”. A composite application is created by combining services. Composite applications are built using a service-oriented architecture.
