Re: [JMeter] - About Web Services

 Hi,

 I'm reading about JMeter and I have a question about the test with Web
 Services. When I send a number of request, for example 15, and all the
 request results correct but the XML content could have some message error.

 Does some meaning exist to detect if the XML message has an error inside?

 Example:


1. Correct result: ?xml version
...responsesresponsea/response.../responses
2. Bad result: ?xml version ...errorMessage Error/error

 Thanks

This is true to a large extent.  There are two key differences though:  the
information is in a standard format (XML) which only requires a generic parser
to read, and the addition of automatic discovery of services.  Another key
difference is the emphasis on ubiquity.

I doubt Web Services will replace traditional EDI soon, but there are some
neat things that the Web Services approach allows you which EDI does not (at
least my _very_limited_ understanding of EDI).  The first thing is UDDI for
automatic publication and registration of services offered.  EDI typically
is set up on a company by company basis involving humans.  This approach
cannot scale to the extent that Web Services claims to (i.e. like HTML web sites).
The second is the standard markup definition used for data exchange.  By using
XML, a company can choose the XML parser based on performance and load criteria
(something that EDI can't offer alot of choice in).

Web Services is the next big idea for a smart web where things just work.
One way I can see this take off is in a smart kitchen.  Imagine if you will
the kitchen of the future where the refrigerators and cupboards keep track of
inventory and order groceries to be delivered on a Just in Time basis.  This
of course would be first adopted by professional establishments, and then find
their way into everyday homes.  The scenario outlined above also buys into the
embedded market in what they preach.  It is a realizable dream in that it
can be done with today's technology--the business side of things has to be worked
out though.

Web Services do have potential beyond what EDI preaches--and it is in small services
that can be combined into a larger service.  This is in contrast to one large 
transaction
with one party.  The interesting twist to Web Services is that you can change the
players that make up compound service without affecting the logic of the service.

wincvs for win32 and the gnome port gcvs are useful. (Checkout

[snip]

 This is true to a large extent.  There are two key differences though:

parser
 to read

Hmm. EDI used standard formats defined by ANSI X.12 and EDIFACT. Simple
line based things which were easy to write to with COBOL. XML is a better
fit for the business language of the day in this case, Java, but it's not
really any more standard.

  and the addition of automatic discovery of services.

IMHO, this is the part that is likely to not work. Getting applications to
discover each other and talk together effectively without prior planning is
_hard_ for anything thats not trivial.

 Another key
 difference is the emphasis on ubiquity.

Yes, seems to me this one of the main difference (apart from the marketing
aspects). This comes from using a public, free network rather than
private, fee based network to transmit the data.

Also, Web services can work in real time because computers have so much more
grunt these days. EDI is all message based.

 I doubt Web Services will replace traditional EDI soon, but there are some
 neat things that the Web Services approach allows you which EDI does not
(at
 least my _very_limited_ understanding of EDI).  The first thing is UDDI
for
 automatic publication and registration of services offered.  EDI typically
 is set up on a company by company basis involving humans.  This approach
 cannot scale to the extent that Web Services claims to (i.e. like HTML web
sites).

UDDI is cool, but it's going to be very hard to make it work without humans.
You have to deal with the different applications at each end which have
different internal data structures, and yet use a common format that both
understand. UDDI itself is not that hard, but getting apps to agree on a
common format which everyone can use and which meets everyones business
needs is impossible.

Just take a look at the format for an EDIFACT Purchase Order document to see
what I mean. It's _way_ complex, and most people only implement a fraction
of it. Thus you need humans to agree which parts are going to be used, and
what the contents actually mean in a business sense.

 The second is the standard markup definition used for data exchange.  By
using
 XML, a company can choose the XML parser based on performance and load
criteria
 (something that EDI can't offer alot of choice in).

There are many companies offering EDI parsers that can deal with the
standard X.12 and EDIFACT syntaxes.

 Web Services is the next big idea for a smart web where things just
work.
 One way I can see this take off is in a smart kitchen.  Imagine if you

Aha. To me, these fall under the umbrella of 'trivial' apps. It's not hard
to define an interface for a light switch that everyone is happy with. A
refrigerator might be a bit harder :-).

Seems to me that companies like IBM, etc, that are backing web services are
marketing it like a next-gen EDI rather than like the JINI style stuff you
descibe above.

Don't get me wrong, I think EDI and Web services are great. Web Services may
go some way to make EDI style implementations easier, but they underlying
problems remain the same. As Chuck D. so eloquently said: Don't believe the
hype!

but I would find it insane for any decent sized organization to rely on the 
internet for any time sensitive data. Imagine what happens when network goes 
down or slows up. Time sensitive data may not be delivered on time and thus 
may incur fines or may have to wait till next delivery period. And I would 
hazard to guess that this could be costly for the organiztion.

Every example I have seen for web services would lay in the area of
trivial
applications.  These are not full service EDI applications.  However,
the
web services technologies can be adapted for private fee based networks
to
replace aging mainframes and COBOL code.

2001-08-08 Thread Peter Donald

Hi,

It is basically yet another attempt to bring around interoperability much 
like all the various distributed object/rpc protocols (DCOM, IIOP etc). 
However the claim is that this time it will work because messages are plain 
text and that you use HTTP which is generally not firewalled off.

However there has already been murmurings about compacting the XML because it 
is has low info density (I even heard that the ASN1.1 peeps are trying to get 
XML defined via that and encoded via PER, BER, XDR, etc). Another thing that 
will occur is that as more important and sensitive information is transferred 
via HTTP it will become more regulated via firewall software.

Even if the above doesn't happen you are still placed at risk because what 
happens when the service provider goes down, you get disconnected, has 
security breaches or has nasty master (say MSes Passport authentication web 
service). Basically everything breaks - fun ;) So it is really only a good 
idea when you have a reliable network (ie an intranet) and trust/control the 
service.

However theres a fair bit of marketing power behind it (ie IBM/MS combo) so 
anything is possible ;)

Right now it's mostly vapor, at least on the Sun ONE end of things.
Too many of the Java APIs related to Web services are still making their
way through the JCP (JAXB, JAXM, JAXR, JAX-RPC, Java APIs for WSDL)
and several of the XML standards are still in flux (SOAP is now part of
the W3C XML Protocol Activity and WSDL is only a W3C Note).  Furthermore,
every whitepaper seems to define web services slightly differently.
Apparently though, if you pump in XML to a server via HTTP and get XML
back, it's a Web service.

Hi Jon,
Try the above.  I go to the O'Reilly site for short, decently
technical articles on new topics.  This one is pretty good.
My issue with Web Services?  Why did they have to pick such
a generic label?  I remember when Service used to mean that 
you'd get your tires checked when you pulled into a gas station.

I guess you could say it's components with a networking twist. I don't know

 WebServices == SOAP is a good first order approximation.

All the stuff I've read about for WebServices comprise
UDDI, SOAP, and WSDL.

The three combined provide a way to automatically discover remote resources
that my webapp can use and then actually use it.

 It is basically yet another attempt to bring around interoperability much
 like all the various distributed object/rpc protocols (DCOM, IIOP etc).
 However the claim is that this time it will work because messages are
plain
 text and that you use HTTP which is generally not firewalled off.

Personally, I'd ignore the firewall parts of the discussion.  That's a
distraction.

My take on it: CORBA and DCOM failed to achieve ubiquity because they tried
to do too much and were too vendor specific (both protocols shared these
aspects, but to different degrees).

JXTA is P2P.  WebServices tend to be client/server.

Some would argue that if Web Services are the next big thing that P2P is
the NEXT next big thing.

 http://www.jxta.org/

The nebulous definition of a Web Service is:

A dynamic web resource designed to be accessed and used by applications.

The key part here is used by applications.  If you incorporate pieces of
www.jxta.org into the picture--then that is how you defined your Web Service.
The tools commonly agreed upon (according to the premier Web Services Developer's
Journal [WSDJ] that was included with the next to last JDJ issue) are UDDI, SOAP, and
WSDL.  Another part that is required is Schema support (but you knew that already
because UDDI, SOAP, and WSDL either require it or provide methods of specifying it).

The compelling example that was given in WSDJ was a very simple web service to
find out how much any book from Borders would cost in any currency.  The cool
part of SOAP and therefore WS is the support for transactions.  You can compose
larger WS from smaller ones.  The example used two existing WS--one from Borders
that returns the price of a book (specified by ISBN number) in US currency, and
one that converts from one currency to another with the current exchange rates.
The web service that was written took markup that specified the ISBN number and
the resultant currency type you wanted.  The web service would create a transaction
that spanned the two other WS calls.  First it accessed Border's WS and got the
US price.  Then it accessed the exchange rate WS to find the price according to
the desired currency.

That relatively simple example demonstrated why the WS concept is so powerful.
The biggest thing is that this is all done from within applications.  Your
front end can be a web page, or a standalone app.  They would both function
identically--just with different user interfaces.  In fact, you can add your
own web service that uses this example, and will bring up a list of ISBNs and
the cost from a Title.

 When you say transaction here, are you using the term in the technical
 sense?

Yes.  The transactions are part of the SOAP protocol along with security
constraints.  Please check the SOAP docs for more info.

 How does the transactional context propagate across varying resource
 types? For example, if one web service is executing an EJB
 implementation how do web services help the transaction to cross
 boundaries to COM+ objects running under MTS? Are web services a better
 integration technology then what exists today? Has someone built
 products that address cross app server interoperability concerns such as
 the one I mentioned above? Or are web services meant to be used only as
 a simple data exchange mechanism?

The transaction mechanism is in the protocol.  The underlying implementations
do not change the mechanisms in the protocol.  This means that you can have a
web service that uses EJB, that uses a web service using DCOM, that uses a
service using CORBA.  The SOAP protocol is able to specify when a request
failed and the calling service then can rollback all the changes it made.

Basically SOAP has become your Transaction Authority.
