The Tee-Times Web Service application allows golf courses
and portal sites around the world to exchange data with each other in
real-time. This means that golf courses throughout the world can update
their tee-time schedules and have them accessed by golfers through different
portal sites such as Yahoo, Excite, or MSN. Because the portal sites actually
access the data through a Web Service, they can offer the tee-times scheduling
service to their users while still having complete control over the presentation
layer.
The downloadable code contains three parts. The server
portion contains all of the code necessary to run the Web Service. The
client portion shows a sample portal site integrating into the methods
exposed by the Web Service. The SQL Server 2000 scripts for the
database tables and stored procedures are also included. It should be
fairly trivial to port these to SQL Server 7 although it hasn"t been tried.
Directions: After the PortalSite page pulls up, find the "Book
a Tee-Time" section to the right of the screen. Enter an email address
of golfer@xmlforasp.net and a password of xmlforasp.
From there, you will be logged into the service and can then choose a
state, course, and tee-time. All of the data is pulled from the Tee-Times
Web Service. To demo the client, Click
