Webservices in Websphere

Webservices support in Web Sphere is enhanced by a service pack as defined in the url (http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg21264563). The benefits it provides as per the extract is

IBM WebSphere Application Server V6.1 Feature Pack for Web Services extends the capabilities of Application Server V6.1 to enable Web Services messages to be sent asynchronously, reliably, and securely, focusing on interoperability with other vendors.

Through support for key Web Services standards, you can send messages:

• Reliably - be confident that your message will reach its destination
• Asynchronously - communicate reliably even if one of the parties is temporarily off-line, busy, or unobtainable
• Securely – rest assured your messages are not vulnerable to attack
• Interoperably – flexibility to interoperate with other vendors’ offerings

The Webservices can be developed with the help of common editors like Eclipse or MyEclipse Blue or AST offered along with the Application Server or RAD. These are excerpts from Websphere sites. Please check the websphere sites for more information.
