Can Anybody explain me the difference between a WEB service and a Enterprise Service?

Simply Web services should be the core integration approach for all integration initiatives to provide standards based integration with applications.

While Enterprise services are technically part of a web research services. And one type of web service designed as a reusable component in process computerization.

Hi Anil

See, Web Service is a strictly technology term by which we mean developing software so that we can publish our function/method with the web service provider. The other external world can then access these function also by registering to that service provider without directly communicating with software developed.suppose google has register their method e.g SEARCH(String Searh) so any other person can implement these search method by registering to the service provider and implement serch engine in their site.

Enterprise service is nothing but the scaling of the service/functionality how large it is. If large company provide diiferent service/functionality to the customer is call Enterprise service

Hi Anilkumar K Naidu ,

Web service

A Web service is a self-contained, modularized functionality, which can be published, discovered, and accessed across a network using open standards and which is supported by SAP NetWeaver. Web services cover services provision for integration within an enterprise as well as cross enterprises on top of any communication technology stack, whether asynchronous or synchronous, in any format.

Web Services in the NetWeaver framework play an important role in facilitating the integration of disparate applications from various departments or trading partners and thus increasing business productivity. This benefit allows small and medium businesses also to integrate their business applications with larger trading partners. The benefit derived from this seamless integration introduces security concerns when all the business logic is now being exposed through a standard interface that is a catalyst for security vulnerabilities. SAP Security Managers must use automated diagnostics tools to ensure that the security vulnerabilities are caught in pre-production and in post-production phase.

Enterprise Service

Enterprise Service-Oriented Architecture (Enterprise SOA)

Enterprise SOA is a blueprint for an adaptable, flexible, and open IT architecture for developing services-based, enterprise-scale business solutions. With SAP NetWeaver as a technical foundation, enterprise SOA moves IT architectures to higher levels of adaptability – and moves companies closer to the vision of real-time enterprises by elevating Web services to an enterprise level.

An enterprise service is typically a series of Web services combined with business logic that can be accessed and used repeatedly to support a particular business process. Aggregating Web services into business-level enterprise services provides a more meaningful foundation for the task of automating enterprise-scale business scenarios.
