DESCRIPTION
HTTP Protocol for communication among web entities. It is a standard from IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) and W3C: (World Wide Web Consortium) Request-response model for client-server systems HTTP operates by sending requests with operations to be performed on resources referred by Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI) Request methods are: HEAD, GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, TRACE,… PATCH (just a few standard commands) 1/30/20163TRANSCRIPT

HTMLHyper text mark-up languageStandard markups for structural organization of web pagesExample:<tr> <td style="vertical-align: top;"><br> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top;">File System<br> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top;"><a href="FileSystemOct21.ppt">FileSys</a><br> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top;"><br> </td> </tr>

XMLXML is a markup language, developed by W3C (World Wide Web Consortium), mainly to overcome the limitations of HTML.But it took a life of its own and has become a very popular part of distributed systems.We will examine its definition, associated specifications (DTD, XSLT etc.), Java APIs available to process XML, protocols and services based on XML, and the role XML plays in a distributed computing environment.

First Look at XMLIt has no predefined tags. Such as in HTML Domains may specify their own set of
standard tagsIt is stricter. Most html document have errors and the
browser have to built to take care of these. On the other hand XML has a strict syntax. There is a notion of validity and A notion of well-formed.

An Example: MemoSee the two documents enclosed: one in html and the other in XML formats.Observe the meaningful tags in XML.Compare it to a class definition: it looks like a class with data definitions and accessors (tags).

Memo.html vs memo.xml<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD
HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"><html><head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-
1"> <title>memo.html</title></head><body><h3>Hello World</h3>Bina<br>CSE486 DS Students <br>Wake up everyone<br>
BR<br><br></body></html>
<?xml version="1.0" ?> <!DOCTYPE memo (View Source for

XML parsingLets understand XML parsing.Reference: http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/xml/mapping/index.htmlMapping/parsing is similar to compiling: if it is not valid or well formed, the parser is going to complainLets look at some examples starting from the very beginning.

XML to SOAPSimple xml can facilitate sending message to receive information.The message could be operations to be performed on objects.Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)Representational State Transfer (REST) is an architectural pattern on HTTP’s methods

SOAP Request<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <soap:Body> <getProductDetails xmlns="http://warehouse.example.com/ws"> <productId>827635</productId> </getProductDetails> </soap:Body> </soap:Envelope>

SummaryWe looked at foundational concepts supporting web services: XML, SOAP, WSDL and Web Services standards.We also illustrated the concepts using sample programs.We will discuss REST-based web services and WDSL in the next lectures.
