This Web service processes or validates the order placed by a customer and returns the unique order ID. After reading this article, you can apply the concepts and features of CXF to build and develop a Web service. System requirements
Google axes SOAP API
Google has quietly axed the web services API to its eponymous search engine. The stealth move was made without any announcement, but visitors to the page now receive a blunt message, backdated to 5 December, advising them that the SOAP API is no longer supported. The service was launched in spring 2002, giving developers a limited chance to develop applications using data drawn from Google's main search index. Amazon.com followed with its own web services interface weeks later.This paper is the first of a short series that illustrates the implementation of a cross-platform, JavaScript-based SOAP Web services client based on the Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax) design pattern for Web applications. Popularized through its use in a number of well-known Web application services like GMail, Google Maps, Flickr, and Odeo.com, Ajax provides Web developers with a way of expanding the value and function of their Web applications by using asynchronous XML messaging. The Web Services JavaScript Library introduced here expands on the fundamental mechanisms that power the Ajax pattern by introducing support for invoking SOAP-based Web services.
