This tutorial explains how to develop web applications using the Web Service Interoperability Technologies (WSIT). The tutorial describes how, when, and why to use the WSIT technologies and also describes the features and options that each technology supports.
WSIT, developed by Sun Microsystems, implements several new web services technologies including WS-Security, WS-Trust, WS-SecureConversation, WS-ReliableMessaging, WS-AtomicTransactions, Data Binding, and Optimization. WSIT was also tested in a joint effort by Sun Microsystems, Inc. and Microsoft with the expressed goal of ensuring interoperability between web services applications developed using either WSIT and the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) product.
Who Should Use This Tutorial
This tutorial is intended for programmers who are interested in developing and deploying Java based clients and service providers that can interoperate with Microsoft .NET 3.0 clients and service providers.
