What is the difference between toolkits and web services? |
|
Toolkits offer a series of functions for building a functional logic embedded in the actual business
processes. This must be performed for
each of the processes that require the functions offered by a specific toolkit. Any minor change to the logic
may require that the code be rewritten or, to avoid this, it may need complex
configuration methods.
TrustedX is
based on common architectural principles-Web Services (WS) and Services
Oriented Architectures (SOA)-to offer a homogeneous series of functions as a
service ("sign an document", "verify a signature of a document",
"encipher/decipher a document", "authenticate and authorise", etc.), so the
complexity required by the business logic goes on to reside outside the
applications. This simple idea has huge advantages:
- There
is no need to recompile if new standards appear. All that is needed is to
incorporate new components to TrustedX for the business processes to be able to
use them immediately.
- The
business logic can change at any time without having to change even one code
line or recompile.
