Elusive Web services killer app seen emerging this year, says Cape Clear

You don't need a crystal ball to find what the killer application for Web services will be in 2003, maintains John McGuire, co-founder and senior vice president of engineering at Cape Clear Software, a Dublin, Ireland-based Web services tool maker, because it's under every IT manager's nose: The simplification of application integration inside the firewall.

The predicted trend in Web services, which McGuire sees emerging in the New Year, include advancing the XML-based technology from its status as a quick fix for integration projects, to recognition that it is the best fix for EAI.

"People were scouring all these UDDI registries looking for the killer application and that's not where it's happening. It's happening inside the firewall. A lot of the real application is happening in stealth mode behind the firewall. People are just using it to integrate things very quickly and cheaply. And that's where the real value is happening in Web services, it's not going to be some amazing new e-mail program or something. It's simply making stuff work inside

the firewall."

However, the technologies that provide the implementation of these features are by its very core, statically based. This article explores Jini as a more adaptive, self-healing technology core for SOAs: http://www.searchWebServices.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid26_gci871817,00.html

Sony funds PreCache Inc - a new messaging / push technology company

The emergence of Web services is providing new momentum to 'push' technology, which involves a server sending data to a client without the client requesting it, and a push messaging technology company funded by entertainment giant Sony is trying to benefit from that momentum.
