This IBM Redbook describes the concepts of Web services from various perspectives. It presents the major building blocks on which Web services rely. Here, well-defined standards and new concepts are presented and discussed. While these concepts are described as vendor independent, this book also presents the IBM view and illustrates with suitable demonstration applications how Web services can be implemented using IBM WebSphere Application Server 6.1 and IBM WebSphere Application Server Toolkit 6.1. This redbook is a rewrite of the redbook WebSphere Version 6 Web Services Handbook Development and Deployment, SG24-6461. The new book covers the latest specifications in regard to Web services and Web services security. This book is structured into three parts: Part 1 presents the underlying concepts, architectures, and specifications for the use of Web services. Part 2 shows how Web services can be implemented and deployed using the latest IBM products. Here, we introduce the weather forecast application, which we use in many ways to demonstrate these concepts and features. Part 3 shows some advanced techniques, such as Web services security, interoperability, the service integration bus, and the new support for the specifications WS-Addressing, WS-Resource, WS-BusinessActivity, and WS-Notification.

Implementing an On Demand Operating Environment is fundamental to becoming an On Demand Business. Such an environment enables a business to implement new decisions in a timely manner. An On Demand Operating Environment is built on the concepts of virtualization, provisioning, and orchestration of resources, tied together loosely using a service-oriented architecture. Virtualization allows resources to be manipulated in a uniform and flexible manner leading to automation. Previously manual tasks can be run 24 hours-a-day with little supervision. Provisioning tasks, which can take up to two weeks, can be completed with fewer errors in less than a couple of hours. Virtualization and provisioning are prerequisites for orchestration. Orchestration in an On Demand Operating Environment is the ability to repurpose and align hardware and software resources to meet fluctuating traffic conditions, with no manual intervention, while meeting service-level agreements for the application. This IBM® Redbooks® publication encompasses a collection of white papers that were published in 2004 and early 2005 by the HiPODs team. Most of the papers pertain to the major concepts of the On Demand Operating Environment. This book consists of the following parts: Part 1: Optimization of IT resources Part 2: Business process optimization Part 3: Solution performance, scalability, and high availability
