Tiivistelmä
The main purpose of the thesis project was to build an application that has a reservation system by accessing distributed databases remotely. There are many parts of the world where the ICT technologies are growing at a higher rate than the medical and transportation infrastructures. The electronic pharmacy application is intended to take advantage of this reality by accessing inventory databases of pharmacies from allover the world via web service and make medicine reservation from a pharmacy located nearest to the patient.
The application was made by Microsoft tools and programming frameworks. Never the less, the thesis study includes the general structure of using web service and how database can be accessed and manipulated remotely. It consists of; authentication of users with different roles, manipulation of data, reservation system and mapping of locations.
As companies’ implementation of databases increases, the use of service oriented applications that use these databases remotely also increases. Web services are the standard for building service oriented applications. Building a web service requires choosing the right type of bindings based on the connection types to choose, hosting the service on the right type of environment, setting the address that exposes the service and considering security issues.
