Introduction
This paper is about the RPC (Remote Proceduce Call) and, most of all, about the WEB SERVICES,
and gives some examples and case studies on this subject. It will explain the main advantages of using this
technology and give some common ideas about designing a flexible and easy to use Web Service.
Remote Procedure Calls
RPC is a very used and well known technology. It consists basically in calling a method from the client machine,
execute it on server machine and return the result to the client. This will be detailed later.
SOAP
Its a short word for Simple Object Access Protocol. You can find the W3C specifications at
http://www.w3.org/TR/SOAP/.
This technology becomes more popular day by day. One of the reasons is that .NET platform relays its
communication layer on the SOAP protocol. This document will provide a list with all he main implemenations
of the SOAP specification and will discuss in detail the use of Apache Soap, Apache Axis (as client & server
producs) and of kSoap and wSoap as thin and powerfull clients (that could be used even on mobile devices, like
PALM or PocketPC).
Tools
The project paper would be written in laTEX. But for the moment, I don't have any idea about how am I going to start
this. :o)
