WS-Transfer, two new specifications for accessing XML representations of
resources through Web Services have been announced. Although it's not

One day, Snow White decided to deploy a Web service. Her IT dwarves
immediately went to work and were pleasantly surprised to find how easy it
was to create the Web service using modern development tools. To Snow White's
