Talk:XML - Managing Data Exchange/Web Services

Revsions

 * Unify the examples in the SOAP and WSDL sections
 * Set up the SOAP section just like the WSDL section by first putting the code for a SOAP document, and than going through and explaining what each part does
 * More information about SOAP
 * Take out the Dot.Net perspective part

viji - 3/8/06


 * Please bold words that are defined
 * the definition of the term 'web services' is scattered: it begins at the top of the Web services section and continues in another paragraph("Web service is simply an application service supplied ...") - could you consolidate the definitions and present them all at the beginning so the reader has a whole definition.  If you need, you can refer to any aspect of the definition in the rest of the chapter.
 * could you clearly define distributed computing


 * Please remove the numbering column on the sample code table


 * I agree with getting rid of the .net perspective


 * I would like to see a set up for the reader - a story or reason why someone would want to use this application. The examples show the temperatures by city.  Perhaps you could introduce the example with a story of how this was incorporated in the Tourism guide using SOAP.
 * Chapter 15 in the 'XML for Dummies' book has a good bit of information on web services and can maybe help explain SOAP with examples. -- Dr. Watson has a copy of the book and is willing to lend it out.


 * Remember to go thru the checklist

Thank you, Viji

Dr. Watson - I think the names of the authors that appear at the top of this page should maybe be part to the preface or a history page and include the subsequent editors.

Professor
I agree with removing .net material and Viji's comments. Put the .net material in an appendix to this chapter so the material is not lost.

Make certain you have a tested problem for the class to work on.
