This page provides a starting point for finding information about web services.
Web services are self-contained, modular applications that can be described, published, located, and invoked over a network. They implement a services oriented architecture (SOA), which supports the connecting or sharing of resources and data in a very flexible and standardized manner. Services are described and organized to support their dynamic, automated discovery and reuse.
You can monitor the performance of a Web service that is implemented in the WebSphere® Application Server using Performance Monitoring Infrastructure (PMI) tooling.
