Those in the security
business, like me, often
complain that security is
the last thing that
people consider when
designing a new
application. If a little
more thought had gone
into the security of the
e-mail protocols, for
exampl...
One day, Snow White
decided to deploy a Web
service. Her IT dwarves
immediately went to work
and were pleasantly
surprised to find how
easy it was to create the
Web service using modern
development tools. To
Snow White's development...
Like the hero of a Greek
tragedy, Web services'
most compelling
advantages are
simultaneously its most
serious dangers. Web
services have passed the
initial hype cycle. The
convergence of industry
support, ease of use, and
the des...
Deploying XML Web
services in the
enterprise has many
compelling advantages.
Web services provide a
powerful foundation for
building loosely coupled
distributed applications
and service-oriented
architectures (SOAs).

Not surprisingly, Web
services management tools
are quickly appearing to
assist developers and
system administrators
alike with the
maintenance of
service-based
applications. One such
product is AmberPoint

Last month (WSJ, Vol. 4,
issue 2), we looked at
how Web services should
not depend on specific
security environments and
rules but should be
managed as part of all of
an enterprise's corporate
data assets such as Web
applications, E...
To quote the Scarecrow
from the Wizard of Oz,
'There are pieces of me
here. There are pieces of
me there.' Thanks to
years of independent
evolution, user identity
information also exists
with bits and pieces in
different places.
Since WSJ last looked at
Mindreef's SOAPScope back
in July '03 (Vol. 3,
issue 7), much has been
added in functionality
and features to benefit
the package. New items
include integration with
Visual Studio .NET,
integration with the ...
As we move from the
'Hello World' days of Web
services toward
development that can
truly support the
enterprise, there are
some advanced functional
requirements for Web
services, including
secure messaging,
reliable messaging, and...
Over the past couple of
years, several technology
vendors have defined a
comprehensive set of
specifications that, when
complete, will provide an
infrastructure for
enterprise-class Web
services
interoperability. The

The Component Based
Development Forum, an
analyst firm and think
tank covering business
software creation, reuse,
and management, recently
wrote, 'Service
Orientation - So What?'
They went on to explain,
My involvement in Web
services was a mistake. I
don't mean that I regret
it, just that I got
involved in Web services
because of a mistake I
made. It actually started
when I was preparing an
executive presentation on
the current tre...
There's a joke in the
industry that states that
the only really secure
computer is in a room
where no one is allowed
to go. It has no Internet
connection, and no
network connectivity. It
has no monitor, so no one
can peek over a use...
