Extreme Web Services

The WS-* web services industry standard protocols are widely accompanied by managed-code end-point implementations. With the Windows Web Services API (WWSAPI), you can now connect your C/C++ client applications with web services as well as implement C/C++ web services. WWSAPI, new with Windows 7 (client) and Windows Server 2008 R2 (server), is an implementation of the WS-* family of protocols for SOAP based web services. It enables several solution scenarios including:

1. The ability to build web services in native C/C++ code on both Windows client and server.
2. Achieve interoperability with web services implemented using Windows Communication Foundation, ASP.NET XML Web Services, and even services implemented using non-Microsoft implementations of WS-* protocols.
3. The ability to build web services with minimal service startup time and minimal working-set dependencies.
4. The ability to use web services in resource-constrained deployment environments.
5. Avoid costly managed-native inter-op scenarios and achieve high performance web service end-point implementations.

    Learn about the Windows Web Services API (WWSAPI). See all videos within this topical category: http://channel9.msdn.com/tags/WWSAPI
  • WWSAPI Client
    WWSAPI Client
    This is part 1 of a 2 episode series and focuses upon using WWSAPI from a client application. The example illustrates a client application using WWSAPI to interact with a "Sort Service".
  • WWSAPI Service
    WWSAPI Service
    This is part 2 of a 2 episode series and focuses upon using WWSAPI to construct a web service. The example illustrates adding a web-service interface to a native (presumably legacy) application. The demonstration provides a comparison between using a managed (WCF) interface and a native (WWSAPI)…

    WWSAPI At PDC'08
    This session discusses the programming model, interoperability aspects with other implementations of WS-* protocols, and demonstrates various services and applications built using this API.
  • Native Web Services with the Windows Web Services API
    Native Web Services with the Windows Web Services API
    Windows Web Services API (WWSAPI) is a native implementation of SOAP that provides core network communication by sustaining a set of WS-* and .NET* family of products. This lab illustrates how to create both a WWSAPI client and service. The service fronts a legacy native "sort.dll". The…
