What is a Web Service and how is developed the DNA Web Service?

The Web Service is a system software designed to support interoperability among different clients and servers in the same network, company network or internet. The Web Service is published with a software interface that allows automatic processing by who requires the consumption.

DNA Web Service uses WSDL (Web Service Description Language), which through the protocol SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) describes the methods of call and return parameters. The low-level communications pass via HTTP protocol and standard XML format.

Thanks to the use of these protocols, applications written in different development languages and designed for different hardware platforms (Windows, Linux, etc..) are able to communicate through a standard language and could benefit the services that you chose to publish.

ITACME Informatica content management system is a product named Web Portal that allows the creation and maintenance of web sites and portals, at any time, by users who do not have technical and scripting knowledge.

This CMS is a web application and consists of two parts: a administrative side, also known as back end, used to manage the content, and a presentation side, also called front end, that is used to display the content changed on the back end.

• Application form configuration: it allows you to add or change functionality to the individual windows of DNA. In particular, you can reposition and resize the columns or data fields or not to display some data, make some columns or fields read only, change font and dimension of characters, add columns or fields showing calculations (based on formulas) or by new selections of data on the database. The settings can also be saved per user or profile and all custom settings are not overwritten by DNA updates of release.

• Windows navigation: a special menu available inside of the windows allows you to navigate within the product modules without leaving it, thus keeping the work session and facilitating the user's operation.
