THIS tutorial explains how to develop web applications using the Web Service Interoperability Technologies (WSIT). The tutorial describes how, when, and why to use the WSIT technologies and also describes the features and options that each technology supports. WSIT, developed by Sun Microsystems, implements several new web services technologies including WS-Security, WS-Trust, WS-SecureConversation, WS- ReliableMessaging, WS-AtomicTransactions, Data Binding, and Optimization. WSIT was also tested in a joint effort by Sun Microsystems, Inc. and Microsoft with the expressed goal of ensuring interoperability between web services appli- cations developed using either WSIT.
