Chapter3 - SOA

This document provides an overview of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). It defines SOA as an architectural style that supports service-orientation where reusable logic is defined as independent services. The key features of SOA described include loose coupling, reusability, and composability of services. Some benefits of SOA discussed are flexibility, cost reduction, and the ability to evolve systems more easily. The document also notes that SOA is not defined by any specific technology and covers common SOA concepts like service consumers, providers, registries, and frameworks.

What is SOA?

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is an architectural style that
supports service-orientation.

Service-orientation is a way of thinking in terms of services and
service-based development and the outcomes of services.

A service:
 is a logical representation of a repeatable business activity that
has a specified outcome (e.g., check customer credit, provide
weather data)
 Is autonomous, can be distributed over a network, can be
reused to create new business applications
 May be composed of other services

Is a “black box” to consumers of the service
Services-orientation vs Object-orientation?? Service vs Object??
SOA is not...

SOA is not Web Services

SOA is not about BPEL

SOA is not about ESB

SOA is not about XML

SOA is not about Technology

Not driven by the “How”

SOA is a fundamental change in the way we think about “What” our


business is
SOA: Changing Thinking and Technology

Orchestration is the automated configuration, management, and coordination of computer


systems, applications, and services.
Example services of SOA
An architecture in which one client gets different services from third-
party without reinventing it is known as SOA.

Example:

A person wants to build a website. A website needs a payment
gateway, products shipment service, and web hosting.

So what the person can do: will integrate any payment gateway
like PayPal, and use any 3rd party shipment services and gets
hosting from some company.

Therefore, if we need any type of service then we don’t need to create the
services from scratch. The idea is to use already build products and
expand your business without reinventing everything.

Why does EA need SOA?

Enterprises change over time. They combine and split, as in
commercial mergers and spin-offs, or government department
reorganizations.

EA covers business operations, finance, people, and buildings
in addition to technology, and it covers technologies other than
IT, such as for manufacturing or transport.

The enterprise architect must understand these areas, at least
well enough to supervise architects that specialize in them.

The IT architect must be able to work in teams with such
specialists.
Why does EA need SOA?...


SOA focuses on the IT component of enterprise
architecture. This is concerned with the strategic
development of an enterprise's IT.

An enterprise architect looks at the overall
construction of the enterprise. SOA is a particular
construction technique that can be used to build
enterprise IT.

With SOA, you break the system down into services.
e.g. Point-of-sale (POS), Payment processing,
Inventory, Order fulfillment, Shipping….

What is the role of Enterprise Architect? IT Architect?

SOA – How it fits together

validate delegation of authority approval limits via the HR system.

Message (ESB)

1. Invoice processing system sends a request to service broker
2. Service broker connects to the registry to search for a service
3. Service broker then connects the invoice processing application to the DoA application (by
passing a description of the DoA application back to the Invoice processing application). They
can then connect directly
4. Once connected they can communicate with each other using messages until the service is
completed

Discuss service consumer, service broker, service provider, service registry.

SOA Downsides
Some shortcomings of SOA:

Extra overload: In SOA, all inputs are validated before it is sent to
the service. If you are using multiple services then it will overload
your system with extra computation.

High cost: SOA is costly in terms of human resource, development,
and technology.

High bandwidth server: As some web service sends and receives
messages and information frequently so it easily reaches a million
requests per day. So it involves a high-speed server with a lot of data
bandwidth to run a web service.
Web Services: UDDI, WSDL, SOAP – base Protocols
What are typical Drivers of enterprise to initiate to SOA
goals?

SOA initiatives could be driven by some of the following needs


What are Approaches to Implement SOA?
