Abstract

The rapid evolution of interactive Internet services has led to both a constantly increasing number of modern Web sites and to an increase in their functionality, which makes them more complicated to be built. In this context, we have proposed a generic approach for Web site development that manages the operational content of this kind of applications. A framework has been defined to support the development of web applications’ processing tasks as Web services and the communication protocols with the users of these services. In this paper, we will expose the general structure of this framework, and we will focus on the communication protocol defined between the users and the system. Our approach in this protocol addresses universal clients; it is based on the SOAP protocol, XML language and their related technologies. It adopts the concept of Web services but uses it for providing code results rather than information results as it is known in the Web society.
