Webservices vs http request response?
843833Dec 19 2008 — edited Jan 9 2009Hi there,
Hope you all are well, I am having some design problem with webservices.
i have the java web application is build using spring framework, and I have a few interfaces, but not webservices, just the normal http request for external system to request some information and response in a http page with content type xml.
Recently we are trying to refractor the application, and we have some debate about the webservices, but I dont see the need of it.
At the moment. The external application just call http://server/getCutomerDetail?name=Bob.Woodland&id=2121212 this will be kick of the request the http xml page response back, I am not convince that we need web services.
Can anyone me tell me why we need webservices rather the normal http request, and response, and what is the different using normal http resquest and response then web services? i understand it is good to use across different application apart from that??
