To meet part of these requirements, we are going to implement a Web Service. The Web Service will allow customers to have access to the data over the Internet. The Web Service will expose two types of methods:
Data retrieval: These are different methods that will return data to the clients given a certain criteria.
Data update: These methods allow clients to change certain information in the database. These also include deletion and creation of records.
Note |
Web Services are based on the stateless principle. That means a Web Service does not maintain state across method calls nor does it maintain any database connections. |
