| Abstract [eng] |
Thanks to standards like web service Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI), Web Services Description Language (WSDL), and SOAP, we can find web services and determine their interface and the message formats they understand. To actually call a web service, however, we must carefully study its documentation and then write special purpose code to handle it. As a further obstacle, no standards currently exist for making a service accessible through a web browser — doing so requires an ad hoc implementation. To solve the problem, Web Service Graphical User Interface (WSGUI) approach is described that makes creating user-friendly, browser-based XForms GUIs for web services a straightforward task. Using this method, creating a GUI for a web service is as simple as writing a few XML documents. |
