Developing client applications in the .NET environment
Microsoft® .NET offers a powerful development environment
in which to connect applications through Web services.
Generating a proxy client (.NET)
.NET client applications use a proxy client to interact with the Web service APIs. A proxy client shields client applications from the complexity of the Web service messaging protocol.
Creating helper classes for BPEL processes (.NET)
Certain Web services API operations require client applications to use "document/literal" style wrapped elements. Client applications require helper classes to help them generate the necessary wrapper elements.
Creating a client application (.NET)
A client application sends requests to and receives responses from the Web services APIs. By using a proxy client to manage communications and helper classes to format complex data types, a client application can invoke Web service methods as if they were local functions.
Adding security (.NET)
You can secure Web service communications by integrating security mechanisms into your client application.
