ABSTRACT
The following document aims at presenting the application of the service-oriented
architecture on web services. The document gives an introduction to web services
followed by a description of how the service-oriented architecture applies to these
services regarding the three principles of modularity, encapsulation and loose coupling. A
brief overview of how SOA configures entities (services, registries, contracts, and
proxies) to maximize loose coupling and reuse will follow as well as the modularization
techniques and major approaches in XML-based interface design. The final part of the
document will comprise the conclusion on the capabilities of a service-oriented
architecture to simplify enterprise integration.
