Technical Opportunities, Social Challenges
An eBook by by Hub Vandervoort
Rethink the centralized, top-down approach to SOA governance and develop a consensual form of governance that supports a socially oriented architecture. Create federated communities among diverse SOA participants for richer, more dynamic user experiences. Read what Hub Vandervoort, CTO, Enterprise Infrastructure Division, Progress Software, has to say in his eBook, SOA: Socially Oriented Architecture. Technical Opportunities, Social Challenges.
O'Reilly's Enterprise Service Bus provides you with both a conceptual and architectural overview of ESB from the viewpoint of a seasoned expert in the areas of standards for enterprise messaging, web services and SOA. In it, Dave Chappell offers his unique insights - gained from years of working with the pioneers and innovators defining the ESB - and delivers practical strategies for understanding the architecture of an ESB and its impact on integrating diverse applications into enterprise-wide solutions. He then goes on to present integration patterns that clearly show how an ESB can help solve the thorniest application integration challenges using standard components and interfaces.
Building Web Services with Java: Making Sense of XML, SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI, 2nd Edition
Written by the team that helped create XML and Web services standards, updated for the next generation of tools and standards. The second edition of this well-reviewed book includes the newest standards for managing security, transactions, reliability, and interoperability in Web services applications, plus Apache Axis and the new Java APIs from Sun. It takes you beyond the hype, detailing the design and implementation of a production-quality Web services solution. Throughout the book the authors focus on practical examples of each concept and provide a running example illustrating a full enterprise solution.
Java Web Services shows you how to use SOAP to perform remote method calls and message passing; how to use WSDL to describe the interface to a web service or understand the interface of someone else's service; and how to use UDDI to advertise (publish) and look up services in each local or global registry. Java Web Services also discusses security issues, interoperability issues, integration with other Java enterprise technologies like EJB; the work being done on the JAXM and JAX-RPC packages, and integration with Microsoft's .NET services.
