I need to develop a secure web services that could be used by SSIS. The web service expose data from a SQL server.
Where should I start?
Any suggestion for technology to use? (I am a C# developer.)

I am trying to build a mobile application that needs data from an Azure SQL DB. Best practice looks like building a web service in between.
However I am getting lost in the number of solutions.
Which specific Azure component do I need to use to have a future-proof solid solution?
How to handle security between this component and the Azure SQL DB?
How to handle security between the mobile application and the Azure Component?
The best way forward is to use an ASP.NET Web API with ADO Entity Frameworks and publish the API to an Azure website. Use REST services to call the Web Api from your mobile app.
So basically:
1) Fire up VS and build a Web Api that will handle your database using ADO Entity Framework and the controller for your API. Check this: http://www.tutorialsteacher.com/webapi/web-api-tutorials
2) Publish the Web Api to an Azure website/app through VS. Make sure you have Azure services installed on your VS.
3) Call the Web Api from your mobile app using REST services to work with the SQL database. You will need an HttpClient class to do this, you can get it from NuGet.
For security of your Web API, check this: https://www.asp.net/web-api/overview/security
I need to develop a web services and it needs to be hosted in Adobe CQ. I knew that CQ consume web services from other systems. We will need to create a OSGI bundle for this. I heard that Adobe not recommended to develop web services in CQ. Is it good approach to develop a web services in CQ itself? What happens if we host it in CQ?
Please share your feedback.
Thanks,
If I use a standalone application to interact with a Restful web service I use Apache HttpClient or its Fluent API.
How do I interact with a web service using a web application or from another Restful web service?
Do I again go back to Apache HttpClient?
A web service client is a web service client, no matter if who's doing the consuming is a standalone application, a web application or even another web service. You could consume them how you see fit:
use a JAX-RS aware client like the RESTEasy client framework (I see from your profile you are using JAX-RS);
use a (generic) REST aware client like Resty;
use Apache HTTPClient;
heck, you could even use java.net.URL :)
I'm writing an app which I need to store user details, location and connections in azure db but have no experience with cloud storage. I have created my azure database but not sure how to communicate with the wp7 app. Any thoughts on where to start with the web service,
Thanks, MH
The following may point you in the right direction "Using Windows Phone with Windows Azure

As to windows phone azure project, do you mean Windows Azure Toolkit for Windows Phone? This toolkit is optional. It may help us in some cases, especially if we want to integrate with ACS. But a web service will be enough if all we need is to bring data to the phone.

To add to Paul’s suggestions, the recommended architecture is: Hosting a service in Windows Azure (such as WCF Data Services). The service will talk to SQL Azure (if you use SQL Azure as the database). Client devices, such as Windows Phone, iPhone, Andriod, a web browser, and so on, will communicate with the service. If you use WCF Data Services, you can expose the data to clients via the OData protocol, which is supported by multiple devices. To get started with WCF Data Services, I would like to suggest you to check http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc668796.aspx. To learn how to consume OData in Windows Phone, please refer to http://blogs.msdn.com/b/phaniraj/archive/2010/03/19/developing-a-windows-phone-7-application-that-consumes-odata.aspx.

I have created a Web Service in Net Beans 6.9 and deploy it locally. And I am using it via a java SE application by adding Web Service client in this application. How to obtain the link of the Web Serice so that it can be used from anywhere ?
2) From where to obtain WSDL file of Web Service ?
3) How to host a Web Service on the internet ?
Thank a ton in advance..!!!
You could create a new project of type web application in Netbeans.
In the web application, you will then create a web service (NOT a web service client).
For publishing and testing the web application, you will have to deploy it to a web server (e.g. GlassFish).
After publishing the web application, the WSDL file will be typically located at: http://localhost:<port>/<your web app>/<your service>?wsdl
For GlassFish, the default port is 8080.
If your current Netbeans installation doesn't support web projects or you don't have GlassFish installed, I suggest you download and install the latest version of Netbeans with Java EE support (bundled Apache Tomcat and GlassFish server in the same setup).

Hosting SOAP web services on the internet at large has not been terribly successful. For example Google had SOAP based web services initially, and they switched to REST based services in the end. You may want to reconsider and deploy a REST based interface. If the bulk of your code is not embedded in the web service, then you should not have that difficult of a time switching the interface.
To deploy a SOAP or a REST web service, you would need to deploy a 'full' Java EE container (e.g. Glassfissh or JBoss) on a machine with access to the internet. You might virtual hosting e.g. Westhost, Amazon, or there are turnkey solutions like Heroku (note: I'm not endorsing any of the companies listed here; they're just examples). If you just want to deploy a REST based service, any web container will do e.g. Tomcat or Jetty. In addition to services mentioned above you could probably host a rest web service on any service that will let you upload a war file.
