The Openwings Tutorial Introduction This tutorial provides guidance on design, development, and deployment of components using the Openwings reference implementation, version 0.9.2. This document is meant to be a terse guide. it does not discuss the Openwings APIs in detail—please refer to the Javadocs for that information. This tutorial contains material that is specific to this Reference Implementation of Openwings. It will be continually updated to reflect changes made in new releases. If you notice an error in the tutorial, please e-mail us so we can fix the problem. Click here to download a PDF containing all the tutorial content. Tutorial Trails Trail I.

Perhaps you have heard something about SBA and want to find out what it is all about. In this section we will discuss some of the history that has lead up to SBA and why it is important. History Often it is helpful to reflect on the past to understand the present. There have been three key software technologies underlying the success of the Internet: Internet Protocol (IP), WWW technologies, and Java. Understanding why these technologies were successful provides a great deal of insight. Technology Value Proposition Origin Notes Internet Protocol (IP) Cross Platform Connectivity Military The plumbing that Send anything between any provides connectivity nodes between nodes WWW (Web Browser, Cross Platform User Interface Academia Brochure-like user access Web Server, Search User access to capabilities of to capabilities Engines, HTTP, HTML) any node on the network Ability to find useful capabilities Java Cross Platform Applications Industry GUI user access to Enriched Cross Platform User capabilities Interface The reason all of these technologies were successful is that they had compelling value propositions. Your computer is more useful if it is on the Internet. The Internet is more useful with web technologies. You can provide much richer user interactions with Java. These technologies provide greater flexibility and value. By using these technologies to integrate legacy systems, one can extend the reach and utility of legacy systems, without losing past investments. Because of these technologies, the Internet has become a very useful tool. People can do a tremendous variety of tasks on the Internet, everything from paying their bills, selling items, buying items, getting the weather, reading the news, finding directions, filing tax returns, installing software, downloading music, finding movie times, reading book reviews, doing research, etc. When the Internet first came into existence, there file:///S|/OpenwingsDotOrg/html/openwings-0.9.2/tutorial/Trail01_Introduction/01_Introduction.html (1 of 9) [12/19/2002 6:46:40 PM]Installation was connectivity, but it was not easy to find and use things. A published cross- platform user interface (a web page) and the ability to search for things (a search engine) dramatically changed the use of the Internet. A compelling commercial aspect came to the Internet, in such a way that eBay could hold the world’s largest garage sale with a million of their closest friends. At times, industry and individuals would like to have these capabilities work together in ways that their creators could not have conceived. For instance, a travel service is a prime example of a horizontal integration of services. Travel agents need to book travel (airlines, bus, train), book tour services, book hotels, book rental cars, find weather information, book events, and book attractions. Another example is a realtor selling homes. A client wants to know the price range of homes in an area, crime rates, seasonal information, schools, easements, fees, previous sales history, taxes, energy costs, insurance costs, local shopping, local restaurants, noise levels, gas/electric, cable/internet, sewage/septic tank, public water/well, plot information, and so forth. The military has similar horizontal integration problems. The military often needs to coordinate across services, agencies, and nations to achieve its objectives. Figure1. Horizontal Integration Examples file:///S|/OpenwingsDotOrg/html/openwings-0.9.2/tutorial/Trail01_Introduction/01_Introduction.html (2 of 9) [12/19/2002 6:46:40 PM]l l l Installation That fact is that one cannot predict how services or information will be combined and used in the future. The whole is greater than the sum of the parts. However, this kind of interoperability is very difficult to achieve when the only interface to these capabilities is a web page. Today, the technique of parsing these unstructured HTML pages is used to integrate across vendors, however it is difficult and error-prone. Simple changes to websites can break this “screen scraping” approach. The problem is that there is no programmatic access to these capabilities and no way to search for these capabilities. This interoperability need has been labeled as many things: Enterprise Integration Horizontal Integration Open-Ended Integration This has been the driving force behind Web Services. Web services rely on a protocol for interoperability: Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). Since web services are not concerned with high bandwidth access or passing large amounts of data, they use XML technologies. Web services can be used to share capabilities, but not software. Web Services provide the important lookup mechanism through Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI). Not only do we have these kinds of integration problem for web services, but for network devices and network services in general. The concept of plugging a piece of software or hardware onto the network and having it automatically provide services is very powerful. It extends the utility of these hardware and software components while making it much easier for users. This same concept of pluggability can even be extended to locality-based services, similar to what Bluetooth provides. Often the military has characterized their interoperability problem as an information dissemination problem, but it is more than that. As an example from a non-military environment, when you go to the bank to get your balance, the bank doesn’t send you all of your banking transactions since the creation of your account for you to add up. Instead the bank provides a service that returns your account balance. This is much more efficient and convenient. They knew a balance is something people would ask for and provided an efficient way of accessing it. The military is moving to a service view of the wor
