Paper Summary:

This paper shows how in today's fast paced economy and exploding computing infrastructure, XML and web services for e-commerce is the prima franca language for application solution developers. Sun Microsystems and the Microsoft Corporation have lined up their forces for an immense battle on whether Java and J2EE or the Microsoft .NET framework should dominate the platform developer landscape. This paper examines the debate and an objective analysis of which technology should be adopted by a customer looking to web services development.

From the Paper:

"The Internet has spawned a breeding ground for web applications and database systems to perform e-commerce, e-banking, and e-government transactions. At the cornerstone of these systems are web services and a platform battle for the high ground is well underway by Sun Microsystems and Microsoft Corporation. Over the past few years, XML has enabled heterogeneous computing environments to share information over the Internet. From a technical perspective, the advent of web services is not a revolution in distributed computing. It is instead a natural evolution of XML application from structured representation of information to structured representation of inter-application messaging (Vawter, 2001)."
