Although Tech Data's use of the Extensible Markup Language (XML) aims to provide its users with an accurate, high-speed
(real-time), highly accessible web service enabling a full suite of business transactions, the only available means of data
exchange with the web service is through numerous HTTPS POST end-points to which developers must make XML Requests to and expect
XML Responses from. What may be a good fit for certain companies, has more than likely become an integration obstacle for
many others that have already embraced the more popular, standards-driven, XML/SOAP based Web Services. The XWebTD collection of
Web Services is there to bridge this gap - offering the exact same document exchange as the HTTPS POST end-points exposed by the
company's XML Services but via the SOAP protocol.
By taking a Contract-First design approach, the XWebTD Web Services are capable of interacting directly with Tech Data's
XML Services infrastructure and executing the entire suite of transactions. Every type of transaction has its own Access Point,
allowing you to integrate only what is really needed: Availability, Price & Availability, Order, Order Status, Ship Via,
Price List or InvoiceDetailByPO.
