Simplified Integration and Interoperability

   

As the foundation of Microsoft .NET “connected technologies, Windows Server 2003 delivers a revolutionary application environment to build, deploy, and run XML Web services. Integrating support for XML Web services enables applications to take advantage of the loosely coupled principles of Internet computing:

  • Native XML Web services support.

    Windows Server 2003 offers native support for XML Web service standards, including XML; SOAP; Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI); and Web Services Description Language (WSDL).

  • Enterprise UDDI.

    Windows Server 2003 includes Enterprise UDDI Services, a dynamic and flexible infrastructure for XML Web services. This service enables companies to run their own internal UDDI services for intranet or extranet use. Developers can easily and quickly find and reuse the Web services available within the organization. IT administrators can catalog and manage the programmable resources in their network. With UDDI Services, companies can build and deploy smarter , more reliable applications.

  • Support for existing services.

    Because XML Web services are deeply integrated into Windows Server 2003, existing services such as COM+ and Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) can readily take advantage of them. Administrators can allow existing COM+ applications to be called using XML/SOAP by simply checking a configuration box. MSMQ can also talk to SOAP and XML as a native format to allow loosely coupled applications to interoperate with a broad range of systems.

  • Federation infrastructure.

    XML Web services deliver the foundation and architecture for application integration. Federation infrastructure is fundamentally about enabling servers and services to interoperate across trust boundaries.
