DESCRIPTION
A Service Oriented Architecture, or SOA, is an architectural approach where discrete, well-defined software components are exposed as "services" that in turn become the building blocks for a new application. You can use the SOA approach with many products and platforms ranging from expensive proprietary systems to free open-source software. In fact, you can build a world-class SOA infrastructure entirely using popular, and mature, open-source applications.
Unfortunately, the technical documentation for most open-source projects typically focuses on implementing and configuring that specific product. It rarely addresses a particular fit within an overall SOA stack. You're left to your own devices to figure out how to cobble together a full solution from the various bits. In other words, unless you already know how Mule and Tuscany work with jBPM, you're stuck.
Open Source SOA is a practical, hands-on guide that shows you how to build an SOA application using open-source technologies. This book frames each solution within the context of the overall SOA, and identifies what roles these open-source technologies can play within the larger SOA environment. You'll explore core concepts like Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) design and Business Process Management (BPM) and learn the tools and techniques to implement them effectively. Along the way, the author includes specific case studies as examples, to illustrate the process.
Open Source SOA teaches you how to apply SOA principles effectively using selected best-of-breed tools. For example, you'll use JBoss jBPM to reuse components in multiple business processes. Finally, the author describes real-life case studies from his own work to tie together all the principles and practices.
WHAT'S INSIDE:
- Theory—what SOA really represents
- Enablers—SOA core technologies
- Open-source applications that address the core technology
- Best-of-breed open-source solutions
- Real-life case studies
This book is written for Java developers at all levels who need to implement SOA-based systems. You need to be familiar with the Java language and with the basic concepts of distributed application development.
