I knew a little about webservice but in .Net C#. I created a Web service class separate from the Client or front end application.
The client application will use this web service class by referencing this in the client application. This web service class should be installed or should be put to the Server. Since the client has reference to the webservice class, it can used all the public methods of the webservice class by calling the method name through request then the server execute the request and send xml data. But in java i have no idea how the webservice works. Bert From: nirmal.h...@gmail.com Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2009 11:09:37 +0530 Subject: [java ee programming] Doubt about SOAP !!!!!! To: java-ee-j2ee-programming-with-passion@googlegroups.com Hi All, I'm new to web services and just started learning the basics i.e. SOAP, WSDL. According to my understanding: The Client sends a SOAP request to the Receiver. The Receiver then finally sends the SOAP response to the Client. But in books its mentioned : All SOAP messages start with the initial sender(Client), which creates the SOAP message, and end with the ultimate receiver(Web Service).(OK) A SOAP message travels along the message path from a sender to a receiver.(DOUBT)As a SOAP message travels along the message path, its header blocks may be intercepted and processed by any number of SOAP intermediaries along the way. (DOUBT) A SOAP intermediary is both a receiver and a sender. It receives a SOAP message, processes one or more of the header blocks, and sends it on to another SOAP application. (DOUBT) The applications along the message path (the initial sender, intermediaries, and ultimate receiver) are also called SOAP nodes.(DOUBT) I'm having a following doubt: Why we are having the SOAP Intermediaries ? Since we only have a Client and the Receiver(Web Service).For example, I've a Java Client that invokes a method of the Web Service. Please help me in understanding the core concept as well as the context in which this SOAP Intermediaries are being talked about. A practical example would be great.
