Understanding WS-This and WS-That Web Service Standards

If you have to create or consume Web Services then you've likely come across the WS-* protocols that exist in varying forms.  Here's a few of them:

  • WS-Security
  • WS-Transfer
  • WS-Trust
  • WS-SecureConversation
  • WS-Policy
  • WS-Addressing
  • WS-Federation
  • WS-ReliableMessaging
  • WS-AtomicTransaction
  • WS-MetadataExchange
  • While you can always visit the OASIS or W3C Websites to learn more about these protocols, Michelle Lerouix Bustamante recently wrote an article on the topic titled Making Sense of all these Crazy Web Service Standards.  It's a good read that will get you up-to-speed quickly on what WS-This and WS-That actually mean. :-)
