Without identity management, Web services can be consumed by anyone.
The challenge for Web services developers is to provide appropriate access
based on the user's identity. As identity management moves into the forefront
of technology, directory services will evolve from simple LDAP repositories
used for authentication and storage to robust engines that provide identity

Building Services-Oriented applications based on Web Services require a
strong XML-based foundation for integrating applications and enabling user
interfaces. XForms is a W3C specification that specifies an XML-based
declarative language for addressing a common requirement for advanced user
interaction, data validation, and XML processing. The Portlet specification
is another XML friendly specification that standardizes the portal interface
to enable portability of portals.
This session will provide an opportunity to understand how XForms and the
Portlet specification along with ... (more)
Companies are now facing complexities dealing with issues such as regulatory
