15 Mar 2005 Part 1 of a four-part series titled "Understanding WSRF," this tutorial introduces the concepts behind the Web Services Resource Framework (WSRF). Specifically, it explains the concept of a WS-Resource and how to create, use, and manipulate one.
In this tutorial
The first in a four-part series that introduces the concepts behind the WS-Resource Framework (WSRF), this tutorial is for users who wish to create Web services-based applications that require the use of "stateful resources." While the most common application of this concept is grid services, the concepts here apply to any Web-services application that requires a notion of "state," such as those that use files or databases that exist even when you're not talking to them.
Prerequisites
Because this is a conceptual tutorial, it requires no actual programming, but a general familiarity with programming concepts such as objects and properties is suggested, though not required. It does, however, discuss the creation of a Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file. Basic WSDL concepts will be provided, but a general knowledge of XML in general and of Web services in particular will be helpful.
