Open Source SOA Requires Expertise

02 Dec 2008 23:17:00 PST

New tools cost less and handle tasks with ease, but commercial players are easier to use.

Don't have six or seven figures to sink into commercial service-oriented architecture? Price is one of the most appealing selling points for open source SOA products. However, the price for these low- or no-cost, feature-rich platforms is often an enterprise service bus that's not designed for business users, requiring technical expertise that can drag the SOA platform down.

There are some notable exceptions, and open source leaders are increasingly aware of the problem, prompting a rush to develop "orchestration" elements in open source ESBs. Still, most aren't there yet.

01 Dec 2006 11:50:00 PST

XWebServices, Inc. announces today the official launch of XWebACHDirectory, an XML/SOAP based Web Service which provides a standards-based approach to lookup FedACH Participant RDFIs: http://www.xwebservices.com/Web_Services/XWebACHDirectory/

If you are a Bank, Credit Union, Payment Gateway or any type of Financial Services company that deals with NACHA, ACH, Routing Numbers - fund transfers in general - you need a way to lookup and validate FedACH participant Receiving Depository Financial Institutions (RDFIs). Although the Federal Reserve provides a website where you can perform a lookup as well as download a publicly available flat file of all participants, you quickly realize that none of those options are viable solutions for the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) you've embarked on for your enterprise. What you really need is a standards-based, reusable service that all your client applications can benefit from.

The XWebACHDirectory Web Service is the solution you are looking for - an XML/SOAP based Web Service, reusable, scalable and extremely affordable, it provides a standards-based approach to lookup FedACH Participant RDFIs. Make the XWebACHDirectory Web Service part of your Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) Financial Services applications today!

WSDL:
http://ws.xwebservices.com/XWebACHDirectory/V1/XWebACHDirectory.wsdl

Access Point:
http://ws.xwebservices.com/XWebACHDirectory/V1/Directory.asmx

Some of the features include:
1. WS-* Standards - authentication and authorization are being enforced through the WS-Security Username Token industry standard. Client applications have the option of passing the credentials either as Digest or Plain Text.

2. SOA Governance - effortless deployment of the XML/SOAP based Web Service within any SOA Governance solution (with a Per CPU license purchase).

The XWebACHDirectory Web Services feature a 30 day free trial period. Keeping our promise to deliver SOA Solutions via XML/SOAP based Web Services at extremely competitive prices, we offer the following 3 subscription options after the initial 30 day free trial period:

1. Hosted: Less than 10,000 hits a month – $5/month or $50/year

3. Dedicated - $499/cpu (includes Source Code and Database)

Documentation, Implementation Guides, FAQs and an Online Forum are provided for the XWebACHDirectory Web Service on the XWebServices.com portal.

“Every developer out there can expose a Web Service – we do a better job because we take the time to study and implement standards coming out of organizations such as OASIS and WS-I. To top things off, we make the high-end result extremely affordable, so that any Financial Services organization (in this case) can achieve a SOA with a minimal investment” said Cristian Sturek, Founder and Principal SOA Architect of XWebServices, Inc.

XWebServices, Inc. Exposes Tech Data’s XML Services as SOAP Based Web Services

15 Nov 2006 17:07:00 PST

XWebServices, Inc. announces today the official launch of XWebTD, a collection of XML SOAP based Web Services that expose Tech Data's XML Services to client applications: http://www.xwebservices.com/Web_Services/XWebTD/

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.

Make the XWebTD Web Services part of your Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) ECommerce applications today!

XWebServices, Inc. Releases Version 2 of its ECommerce Shopping Cart Checkout Process Web Service – XWebCheckOut

06 Jul 2006 11:21:00 PST

XWebServices, Inc. announces the official Version 2 release of its ECommerce Shopping Cart Checkout Process Web Service, XWebCheckOut (http://www.xwebservices.com/Web_Services/XWebCheckOut/). XWebCheckOut is an XML/SOAP based Web Service which provides integration and management of the standard ECommerce Shopping Cart checkout process (Basket, Shipping, Billing, Credit Card, and Receipt) to client applications. SOAP Methods for processing credit cards in real time are also provided (merchant account and payment gateway are required). The new version of the Web Service features a Contract-First design and WS-Security for authentication/authorization.

Search for Shopping Cart using your favorite search engine and look at most of the results. Every Shopping Cart solution being offered today relies on templates that a website owner has to integrate into his/her website. Although every solution promises to be flexible and easy to integrate, how much flexibility can you really get when integrating templates?

With the XWebCheckOut Web Service, you no longer have to rely on templates to have the online Shopping Cart you always wanted. By simply consuming the Web Service for your data needs, you now have the freedom to keep the look and feel of your website, customizing each page of the checkout process the way you want, not the way others thought was best suited for you!

The XWebCheckOut Web Service provides data storage and data access layer functionality for storing and retrieving standard ECommerce orders. It greatly reduces application hosting fees, it eliminates the cost of maintaining a database, while providing all the necessary XML Shopping Cart Software API functionality for a low, flat, monthly fee through a well-established, well-adopted standard of exchanging information - Web Services.

Make the XWebCheckOut Web Service part of your Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) ECommerce application today!

“While our competitors continue to publish ‘Hello World’ type Web Services – you send a Request and get back some Response – we go the extra mile to not only expose real-world business processes, but also leverage the latest standards such as WS-Security in our products,” said Cristian Sturek, Founder and Principal SOA Architect of XWebServices, Inc.

2. Two Distinctive Versions - clients have the option of consuming two distinctive versions of the Web Service featuring:
- Authentication / Authorization: WS-Security for Version 2 and SOAP Headers for Version 1
- Request / Response: Complex Types for Version 2 and Primitive Types (Version 1)

3. Administrative Functionality Provided - as with all Web Services offered by XWebServices, Inc., an online administrative tool is provided free of charge with registration. The administrative tool for the XWebCheckOut Web Service lists all Baskets and Receipts in your account, as well as complete details about each individual order.

4. Maximum Flexibility - store only the information your application requires (i.e. no shipping information if your application does not require shipping information to be stored). Comments, special requests, suggestions, specific instructions, etc, can be added to each order as well.

5. Personalization - SOAP Methods return previously placed orders by a specific shopper - ideal for creating an "order history" section in your client application.
