Unformatted Sample Text from the Research Paper:
advent of web services, XML and standard web protocols, the inability of organizations to communicate meaningfully and effectively now truly can be a thing of the past. The next
- current - generation of web services evolution appears to be seen in J2EE, Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition. The common protocols that have existed in the past and
continue to be integral to web services have been useful to the degree that they have blazed the trail to interoperability and compatibility, but J2EE and its counterpart, Microsoft.NET, are
seen as bringing web services to the next level. Evolution Continues Several technologies have arisen
along the path to greater compatibility. As was the case with Windows(r) years ago, these technologies have come to be the most widely accepted, and therefore the ones for
which most new applications are written. They have followed the natural evolution that has come to be standard in the industry. As there were very few applications compatible
with Windows(r) in the early years, so too formerly was the case with these commonly used technologies. As Windows(r) came to be more widely accepted, more applications were written
to its requirements. Further evolution resulted in Windows(r) becoming the industry standard. The same pattern can be seen to be unfolding in
web services as well. "Web services are in reality simply XML-based interfaces to business, application, and system services, and are really old technologies wearing a new hat" (Vawter and
Roman, 2001). These technologies and their uses are identified in a stepwise course of events that can constitute an approach to performing web services: * "A provider creates,
