QNX Software Systems today
introduced a new framework that enables standards-based web services for
embedded systems.
Designed for inter-application communication without human intervention,
web services technology enables access to any type of service, over any type
of transport, on any type of platform, while using any type of programming
language. The new QNX web services software development kit (SDK) offers
embedded developers the ability to implement WSDL, SOAP, and XML-based web
service applications in native C/C++, hiding the complexity of XML and
protocol transformations from the developer.
The QNX web services SDK is conformant with the Web Services
Interoperability Organization (WSI) Basic Profile 1.0. Applications developed
with the QNX framework can therefore interoperate with other standards-based
implementations, such as Microsoft .NET. Using QNX's flexible framework, users
can also choose to use the default Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), or opt
for another, such as SIP.
