1 Background
Web Service is one of the most interesting technologies in recent years. Web Service is a software application identified by a URI, whose interfaces and binding are capable of being defined, described and discovered by XML artifacts and supports direct interactions with other software applications using XML based messages via Internet-based protocols [1]. Informally, Web Service is a software component that can be accessed through the Internet. It is language independent and platform independent. For example, a software component written on .Net framework can call or communicate with a Web Service written in Java language and deployed on Linux platform. This may provide the flexibility for the developers and increase the collaboration among the service providers. Due to these properties, Web Service has appealed to software community. Within the development of Web Service, service oriented architecture has been developed rapidly
