Aloaha Web Services
Web Services are the underpinning of Microsoft's .NET strategy. The concepts and the innovations behind this initiative have struck a chord with developer's building the next generation of Internet applications. To support Microsoft's .NET strategy Aloaha decided to offer the Aloaha API's also as Web Services.A Web Service is programmable application logic accessible via standard Web protocols. One of these Web protocols is the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). SOAP is a W3C submitted note (as of May 2000) that uses standards based technologies (XML for data description and HTTP for transport) to encode and transmit application data.
Consumers of a Web Service do not need to know anything about the platform, object model, or programming language used to implement the service; they only need to understand how to send and receive SOAP messages (HTTP and XML).
An example of Aloaha's Signature Validator Web Service can be seen here. The Service description is available here.
The most popular Aloaha Web Service is PDFInfo. The Web Service PDFInfo allows the consumer to validate PDF Signatures and to create validation reports without having to install any PDF toolkit on the local machine.
