11.5 Summary
This chapter has been quite a concentrated look at some of the web service components of the Zend
Framework. The emphasis has been on the client/server relationships which we set up first through using
Zend_Feed to generate a newsfeed of our Places articles and then consume that newsfeed. Next we set-up
Zend_XmlRpc_Server to allow remote editing of Places articles through the weblog API??™s and followed that
with an example of how Zend_XmlRpc_Client can make the remote procedure calls to that server. Finally we
covered Zend_Rest; first to filter comments through Akismet??™s REST based spam filtering service using
Zend_Rest_Client and then to provide our own API to Places content with Zend_Rest_Server.
Hopefully you should leave this chapter with a decent understanding of how web services work and be
able to implement useful services using the various Zend Framework components. You should also be well
prepared for the next chapter where we will use the more specific components with some of the publicly
available web services.
