Creating Web Services from Stored Procedures Using WebSphere Studio

Web services are no longer a new concept. They are rapidly gaining acceptance and use in the development of e-business applications. By now, the benefits of using Web services are clear: they provide a modular, self-describing, and self-contained mechanism to share business logic over the Internet using standardized messaging protocols.

However, related standards such as SOAP, AXIS, UDDI, and JAX-RPC are evolving quickly and various components are needed to completely implement a Web service, including client code, message protocols, WSDL, security, registration, and deployment. It is challenging, and in some cases tedious, for developers to assemble the appropriate components from scratch while keeping pace with the changing ... (more)
