 WebSphere JAX-WS web services troubleshooting

Web servicesThe first thing is usually to enable the message trace (traceSpec=com.ibm.ws.websvcs.trace.*=all) so that you can inspect the request/responses in the trace file.

For more specific items, see this JAX-WS troubleshooting article from Phil Adams.

 Building application that connects WebSphere with iPhone

Web servicesWebSphere AppServer comes with a Web 2.0 Feature Pack (in conjunction with iUi toolkit) to serve business data to iPhone.   You can follow this sample application from developerWorks as a starting point.

Another use case is to connect your iPhone to your business process flow (hosted on WebSphere Process Server) using Web Services.  Chris Felix has a good article as starting point.

 SOA Best Practices #1 - Use common information model to maximize reuse

Web servicesWants to get the most re-use out of an SOA approach?  One of the key success factor is the adoption of a common information model (CIM) as you approach an SOA solution.   Many industries has de-facto schemas (such IFX for banking, ACORD for insurance, OAGIS for general business, HL7 for Healthcare, FIX for financial trading).   developerWorks has two nice articles on the use of CIM and techniques on how to use them effectively.

 RESTful services in Java - Platform choices

Web servicesThere are several options when it comes to building RESTful services in Java. 

  1. Apache Wink (JAX-RS) project
  2. JAX-RS implementation that comes with basic WebSphere AppServer 6.x and 7.0 - Feature Pack for Web 2.0 (RAD 7.5.5 as tooling; based on Apache Wink.)
  3. Jersey (Sun's reference implementation)
  4. RESTEasy (JBoss' implementation of JAX-RS)
  5. Apache CXF (JAX-RS)
  6. Spring 3's REST support (different from JAX-RS).  Tutorial here.
  7. RESTlet

 Top 8 tips to optimize your web services client in WebSphere

Web servicesIf you use WebSphere to develop your Web Services client application, check out this list on how to optimize the client in WebSphere.

Tip #1: Always cache and reuse WebSphere generated JAX-RPC stubs:  Initialize and cache JAX-RPC stub and reuse it for subsequent invocations.   Stub initialization is both CPU and memory intensive.  These stubs are thread-safe and you can use the same instance for all threads. [High]

Tip #2: Remember to specify maximum amount of time the client would wait for a synchronous SOAP response:   This setting is per service, defined in ibm-webservicesclient-bnd.xmi (syncTimout attribute).  In WebSphere 6.0.2, this defaults to 300 seconds which is usually longer than typical requirements. [Medium]

Tip #3:  Use WebSphere web services caching for services that mostly provide static data (e.g. lookup tables): 
   This reduces the number of outbound calls required and the need for caching manually inside the application.  See link below for details. [Medium]

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v6r0/topic/com.ibm.websphere.base.doc/info/aes/ae/tdyn_wsclientcache.html

Tip #4: Enable the use of Local Transport Channel for intra-JVM service invocations:   This eliminates the trip to the network stack for intra-JVM web services calls. (enableInProcessConnections) [Medium]

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v6r0/topic/com.ibm.websphere.nd.multiplatform.doc/info/ae/ae/rrun_inbound.html

Tip #5:  Reduce data transmission time by compressing SOAP/http payload using gzip:
   WebSphere supports the compression of request and responses.
(using system properties:   com.ibm.websphere.webservices.http.requestContentEncoding=gzip)  [Medium]

Tip #6:  Send large attachment out of band:  If possible, send an URL where the client can pick up the attachment; instead of sending it as part of the SOAP with attachment message.  [Medium]

Tip #7:  Use SSL instead of WS-Security UsernameToken, XML-Signature, XML-Encryption:  This will maximize throughput and lower memory requirement for your JAX-RPC client. [Medium]

Tip #8: Tune WebSphere outbound HttpOutboundChannel:    Monitor the usage of the outbound HttpConnection pool by this WebSphere trace settings (com.ibm.ws.webservices.engine.transport.channel.OutboundConnectionCache=fine) and adjust maxConenction accordingly. [Low]

Key settings include:
com.ibm.websphere.webservices.http.maxConnection (50)
com.ibm.websphere.webservices.http.connectionIdleTimeout  (5 seconds)
com.ibm.websphere.webservices.http.connectionTimeout (300 seconds)

For a more detailed description of these settings, http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v6r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.websphere.base.doc/info/aes/ae/rwbs_httptransportprop.html

 Web Services Design: xsd:choice mapping and an alternative design

Web servicesJAX-RPC does not map all xml schema constructs to java constructs.  e.g. if you use things like xsd:choice in your web services contract, wsdl2java will only map it to SOAPElement.  That means you need to write your own code to manually serialize and deserialize the message.

Russell Butek discusses how to solve this problem in his article.

 Design and Implement PHP Web Services with New Book on Representational State Tr

Web servicesSaalimS writes "Packt is pleased to announce a new book that will help web developers learn the basic architectural concepts of creating RESTful web services in the PHP code. Written by Samisa Abeysinghe, RESTful PHP Web Services will introduce users to the tools and frameworks that can be used when developing RESTful PHP applications.

Representational State Transfer (REST) is a form of software architecture; systems that follow it are often called RESTful. It is the architectural style that drives the World Wide Web and RESTful web services to use simple protocols already familiar to web developers.

This book helps bridge the gap between understanding the basic concepts of REST architectural style or approach and implementing them in day-to-day work. This book will walk users through PHP tools, libraries and techniques for working with RESTful web services and will also teach them to use other RESTful services from their PHP applications.

Users will learn how to make their own PHP applications accessible to other applications through a RESTful API and also consume RESTful web services, from leading APIs such as Flickr, and Yahoo Web Search. With the help of a case study, users will learn to design a RESTful PHP service, and also create clients to consume the service.
