Distributed web applications, which are built using XML and SOAP, are called XML Web Services. They are the center of .Net Technology that is revolutionizing the way web applications built and use.
.Net technology and XML web services are growing fast but still in infancy. While they do reduce time and cost of software developing, distribution and maintenance, there is no tool that can do it without effort and energy of knowledgeable specialists :O)
UDDI
We are building a large-scale software solution to create distributed applications with the goal to allow users work with their HR, payroll and other related information on demand through the web in a controlled and secure manner.
A.
We use new tools, XML and SOAP to build web services that can call each other and exchange data between systems, irrelevant of their platform or technology. It became possible because XML abd SOAP are introduced as open and commonly accepted web standards
Web Services are discrete self-contained units of codes that programmatically refer information to clients who want it.
B. We use a specialized form of client/server applications referred as n-tiered applications
C. Our software solution will be able to create two types of presentation tier : one where users can use browser interfaces and another where end-user interfaces are created by our exe.
