I enjoyed reading your article. I’ve worked with both SOAP and REST methods. I write REST APIs when you just have to retrieve something. But if some complex task is required like validating and then inserting data in database, I go for SOAP.

I need stop the service if the client who consumes the web service is not valid.
I want implement ws-security in the web service whit soap. Is possible? Can i send the credentials to the data base encrypted?
Thanks!

@Enrique, the simplest approach that can be used with SOAP, XML-RPC, and REST is Transport Layer Security (TLS). This means rather than using http://, you can use https:// – all traffic is encrypted.

@Enrique – web services are made for consuming and I don’t understand why you want to stop the communication of client with the server. If you want to do so then you can disable the web service provided by you by stopping taking the request or deleting that page etc….

The web service checks against a data base if there is new updates for a software. The client who consume the web servie is developed in vb.net. My question is how can i protect the comunication beetwen the client and the server. I don’t know how to do this.

Can you help me whit some web page…?

Thanks a lot!

@Enrique – Web services are made for using by other what do you want to protect in it? For security you’ve to use the security mechanism in PHP…any token or API Key is the better idea for this..
