Advantage of Web services

Home
Exposing the existing function on to network:

A Web service is a unit of managed code that can be remotely invoked using HTTP, that is, it can be activated using HTTP requests. So, Web Services allows you to expose the functionality of your existing code over the network. Once it is exposed on the network, other application can use the functionality of your program.

Connecting Different Applications ie Interoperability:

Web Services allows different applications to talk to each other and share data and services among themselves. Other applications can also use the services of the web services. For example VB or .NET application can talk to java web services and vice versa. So, Web services is used to make the application platform and technology independent.


Standardized Protocol:

Web Services uses standardized industry standard protocol for the communication. All the four layers (Service Transport, XML Messaging, Service Description and Service Discovery layers) uses the well defined protocol in the Web Services protocol stack. This standardization of protocol stack gives the business many advantages like wide range of choices, reduction in the cost due to competition and increase in the quality.

Low Cost of communication:

Web Services uses SOAP over HTTP protocol for the communication, so you can use your existing low cost internet for implementing Web Services. This solution is much less costly compared to proprietary solutions like EDI/B2B. Beside SOAP over HTTP, Web Services can also be implemented on other reliable transport mechanisms like FTP etc.

Insertion Sort

Image
                                                                     Insertion Sort This is very easy technique to arrange the list of elements either in ascending or descending order. Insertion sort algorithm arranges a list of elements in a particular order. In insertion sort algorithm, every iteration moves an element from unsorted portion to sorted portion until all the elements are sorted in the list. The insertion sort algorithm is performed using following steps... Step 1:  Assume that first element in the list is in sorted portion of the list and remaining all elements are in unsorted portion. Step 2:  Consider first element from the unsorted list and insert that element into the sorted list in order specified. Step 3:  Repeat the above process until all the elements from the unsorted list are moved into the sorted list. Lets see how it works: Insertion sort start's sorting an array by picking 1st element of array. (We begin by assuming that

What is Selection Sort? And how it works?

Click here for more contents Selection Sort Selection Sort algorithm is used to arrange a list of elements in a particular order (Ascending or Descending). In selection sort, the first element in the list is selected and it is compared repeatedly with remaining all the elements in the list. If any element is smaller than the selected element (for Ascending order), then both are swapped. Then we select the element at second position in the list and it is compared with remaining all elements in the list. If any element is smaller than the selected element, then both are swapped. This procedure is repeated till the entire list is sorted. The selection sort algorithm is performed using following steps... Step 1:  Select the first element of the list (i.e., Element at first position in the list). Step 2:  Compare the selected element with all other elements in the list. Step 3:  For every comparision, if any element is smaller than selected element (for Ascending order), then
