The remainder of this chapter describes the HydraExpress resources available to you to design Web services.
The following summarizes the contents of this user's guide:
Part I, Getting Started
Chapter 1 (this chapter) includes a simple introduction to HydraExpress's Web service development capabilities and a discussion of the code generator.
Chapter 2, "Building Web Services with HydraExpress," introduces the features available when building Web services.
Chapter 3, "Creating a Web Service," presents a simple tutorial for creating a Web service based on a WSDL and an XML Schema, including code generation, implementation, compilation, and deployment.
Chapter 4, "Extending Your Web Service," extends the previous tutorial by adding an alternate transport and security.
Chapter 6, "Complex Data Types," discusses how HydraExpress parses complex types in an XML Schema.
Part II, Client and Server Options
Chapter 7, "Developing Clients," uses the shipped example DayofWeek to illustrate the options available when designing clients to access Web services.
Chapter 8, "Developing Services," uses the same example DayofWeek to present and discuss all available options when designing services.
Part III, Working with Message Patterns
Chapter 9, "Introduction to Message Patterns," discusses message pattern concepts, using the shipped example WeatherSummary as an example. It also details the library and generated classes that support the notification message pattern.
Chapter 10, "Implementing One Way and Notification Messages," discusses the WeatherSummary example in detail and its implementation of the one-way and notification message patterns.
Part III, Adding Application Features
This section of the book offers information and procedures on expanding your applications to include functionality to support stable, dependable applications.
Chapter 19, "Internationalizing Your Services," discusses how HydraExpress performs character conversion in general, and how to customize character conversion in order to use or display custom character encodings in your applications.
Part IV, Exploring HydraExpress
This section offers a more detailed discussion and look at the code generator, its options and how to use them effectively, the architecture of the generated files, and the project file and code generation directory structure.
Chapter 20, "The HydraExpress Code Generator,"describes how to use the code generator with either a WSDL file or an XML Schema, the various options available when invoking the generator, and the expected outputs.
Chapter 21, "The Project File and Directory Structure," describes the code generation directory structure and the contents of the HydraExpress project file.
Part V, Building and Deploying your Applications
This part discusses the various options for building and deploying your applications.
Chapter 22, "Options for Compiling," discusses the various options for makefile generation, how to use the generated makefiles, and how to build your applications.
Chapter 23, "Options for Deploying Services to the Agent," discusses the various deployment options, configuration information for your service, the Agent, and the infrastructure that supports the Agent.
