Web Services Interoperability Demonstration

The Web Services Interoperability Demonstration is a showcase of multi-vendor web services interoperability.

A business scenario is implemented involving 4 roles - customers, suppliers, warehouses, and banks.  XMethods authored a specification describing the business rules and the associated WSDL standard interface description files. Each participating vendor is free to implement the defined roles in whatever way they see fit - the only requirement is that their implementations must conform to the specifications and WSDL descriptions (thus ensuring interoperability).


The demonstration of the interoperability has been demonstrated regularly at the XML Web Services One conference , produced by 101 Communications
