3.5 Client Access Layer
The next and the uppermost layer will be the Client Access Layer. This is the layer is what the
users will see and use to interact with the XML Web Services Layer underneath it. Since the only
logic that dwells in this layer will be the GUI and page navigation logics, there is a significant cut in
development time. We will now explain and the different methods that users can access the XML
Web Services Layer. Note that when they (the users) are accessing the downward layer, the
whole process is hidden to them.
The usage of the XML web services gives the client the choice of accessing the underlying
database in a lot more ways compared to the conventional system.
