Web Services8

Web services allow programs and applications to communicate with each other over the internet. A web service performs specific tasks and can be searched for and invoked by other programs. Common web services include those that provide weather data, currency conversion, and transportation schedules. Web services use technologies like XML, SOAP, and HTTP to allow programs to exchange data over the internet in a standardized way.

Web service - is a standardized medium,protocol or language to propagate


communication between the client and server applications on the World
Wide Web. A web service is a software module that is designed to
perform a certain set of tasks.

Web services are invoked by the user directly or indirectly to provide


services to the program/software which is being used as a part of
WWW.User may be unaware about such web services.

The web services can be searched for over the network and can also be
invoked accordingly.

When invoked, the web service would be able to provide the functionality
to the client, which invokes that web service.

Many people think that the internet and the world wide web (WWW) are
the same thing. While they are closely linked, they are very different
systems.
The internet is a huge network of computers all connected together. The
world wide web (‘www’ or ‘web’ for short) is a collection of webpages
found on this network of computers. Our web browser uses the internet
to access the web.
The World Wide Web is a way of exchanging information between
computers on the Internet, tying them together into a vast collection of
interactive multimedia resources.
World Wide Web was created by Timothy Berners Lee in 1989 at CERN in
Geneva. World Wide Web came into existence as a proposal by him, to
allow researchers to work together effectively and efficiently at CERN.
Eventually it became World Wide Web.

programming language. It provide various kinds of tags(commands) used to
define the structure and appearance of web page.
HTML was created by Sir Tim Berners-Lee in late 1991 but was not released

Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a markup language that defines a set


of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable
and machine-readable.
XML is Platform Independent and Language Independent: The main benefit
of xml is that we can use it to take data from a program like Microsoft SQL,
convert it into XML then share that XML with other programs and
platforms. You can communicate between two platforms which are
generally very difficult.

Structure of XML Document System


A XML Document is intended to display data like HTML.
An XML document system comprises the following-
 Style Sheet (CSS or XSL)
It defines the style (How it would appear i.e. font,
color, size alignment etc.) of the elements.
 Grammar Structure (DTD)
It is optional component in XML document system
and defines the Rules of the document (Tag
definitions).
 XML File
It contains and describes actual data.

How to Prepare XML Document
In order to prepare XML Document system, you may
do the following steps-
 Prepare XML document file as per problem
XML document is divided into two part.
1. The Prolog :
Preface or Introduction to the XML document. It
includes An XML declaration, Comments etc.
2. The Data Instance :
It contains actual data.
 Prepare a style-sheet file for XML file
It contains style rules that tells a browser how to
display an XML document.
 Link the XML file with Style sheet

HTTP - HTTP stands for hypertext transfer protocol and is used to transfer data across
the Web. It allow users of the World Wide Web to exchange information found on web
pages. When accessing any web page entering http:// in front of the address tells the
browser to communicate over HTTP.
How It Works-
It is a connectionless text based protocol. Clients (web browsers) send requests through
request object of http to web servers for web pages / images etc.Web server respond
accordingly through response object of http After this cycle(request – response), the
connection between client and server across the Internet is disconnected. A new connection
must be made for each request(means for each web page).

This diagram shows the


working of http protocol.
Working with dns server
and working with web
Server both.

DNS –The Domain Name System, translates human readable domain
names (for example, www.python.mykvs.in) to machine readable IP
addresses (for example, 182.156.84.26). ... DNS servers translate requests
for names into IP addresses.

Request python.mykvs.in
Response 182.156.84.26

Local DNS server

Make http Request to 182.156.84.26

A domain name is our website name. e.g. in python.mykvs.in , in is primary
domain,mykvs is subdomain of in and python is subdomain of mykvs.

Domain Name-Domain name is the address of your website that


people type in the browser’s URL bar to visit your website.

Web hosting - Web hosting is the place where all the files of your
website live. It is like the home of our website where it actually
lives.
A good way to think about this is if the domain name is the address
of our house, then web hosting is the actual house that address
points to. All websites on the internet, need web hosting.
Domain names and web hosting are two different services.
However, they work together to make websites possible.It is
possible with the system known as DNS.

There are four main types of web hosting:


• Shared hosting – share by multiple domains/web sites.
• VPS (virtual private server) hosting - The main server is split into
multiple virtual servers—hence the name. These virtual servers
can be customized by individual websites.
• Dedicated hosting - Websites being hosted on a dedicated server
have complete technical control over the server settings. We
choose the software, configurations, and anything else we need.
• Cloud hosting - Cloud hosting plans come with multiple remote
servers. Each server has different responsibilities. If one of the
servers is compromised or has a problem, the other servers on the
network will take over those responsibilities and pick up the slack.
• Reseller hosting and WordPress hosting are also specific types of
hosting
