A software component is a self contained chunk of code with a published interface. Normally, a programmer will incorporate a component into the main corpus of code being developed.
The web, plus a meta-API technology like XML-RPC (or CORBA or Java RMI) allows a service provider to "host" the components
at their site, and the application transfers control to that site while that component is being used.
Take It Offline
http://www.takeitoffline.com Steve Yost's instant discussion hosting service. There is an XML-RPC interface, making this an excellent example of a CSP. [jimfl, Mar 12 2000, last modified Oct 04 2004]
XML-RPC
http://www.xmlrpc.com An extremely easy to use and implement meta-API. [jimfl, Mar 12 2000, last modified Oct 04 2004]
Take It Offline's XML-RPC interface
http://www.takeitoffline.com/xmlrpc.html Short description of TIO's XML-RPC interface. Haven't linked it from the main page yet. [syost, Mar 12 2000, last modified Oct 04 2004]
Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration -- protocol to discover CSPs
http://www.oasis-open.org/cover/uddi.html "for describing services, discovering businesses, and integrating business services using the Internet". Builds on SOAP. [syost, Mar 12 2000, last modified Oct 04 2004]
SALCentral

Yes! Thanks, Jim. I've thought of TIO this way (in fact the very thing occurred to me Friday, after publicizing the XML-RPC interface), but haven't put it so eloquently. |

I guess you can say RSS is another standard that promotes CSP usage, if you view the RSS publishers as read-only components.— | syost,

Getting pretty close to baked
these days, with lots of activity
around SOAP/WSDL/UDDI/etc.. |
|

Quick Topic (was Take It Offline) does SOAP now too.
Not only baked -- this is one huge pie. |
