(Adam Kolawa) Security has the inherent nature of spanning many different layers of a Web Services system. Web Services vulnerabilities can be present in the operating system, the network, the database, the Web server, the application server, the XML parser, the Web Services implementation stack, th

(Tom Yohe) Highly scalable implementations of service-oriented architectures (SOAs) always include heavy doses of caching. A guided tour through the SOA tiers, describing the caching and XML acceleration techniques employed along the way, provides the SOA enterprise architect with an awareness of op

(Kevin Williams) In this series, we’ll take a look at how relationships (in the relational database sense) are modeled in XML. Armed with this information and the information from the articles one and two in this series, you’ll be able to dive in and get started modeling your relational data in XML

(Satheesh Kumar) LINQ is the general-purpose standard query operator that allows traversal, filter and projection operations to be expressed in a direct yet declarative way in any .NET programming language. The extensibility of the LINQ query language provides implementations that work over both XM
