Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a way of organizing
software. If your company's development projects adhere to
the principles of SOA, the outcome will be
an inventory of modular units called "services", which
allow for a quick response to change.
SOA for
the Business Developer:
- Gives a detailed overview of
Extensible Markup Language (XML), including namespaces & XML
schema;
- Describes Web Services Definition Language (WSDL) &
SOAP, the standard SOA technologies;
- Gives a clear
tutorial on XML Path Language (XPath), a language
for deriving data from transmitted messages & other
sources. XPath is useful for working with a
variety of other technologies, including several described in
this book;
- Gives comprehensive details on BPEL 2.0,
a language that coordinates services and whose preceding
version is already in numerous products. The book's
coverage is sufficient for most of the work
with BPEL and includes a quick-reference guide;
- Introduces
Service Component Architecture (SCA), a proposed standard for
composing & deploying applications. You're sure to hear
more of SCA, which is sponsored by 18
companies;
- Introduces Service Data Objects (SDO), a proposed
standard for representing data in a single way,
even if the data comes from different types
of data sources. SDO is likely to accompany
SCA into the limelight.
