 The Pressure on IT

Business …IT Bound By

Demands Change… Constraints
• Develop new products • Must reuse
and services existing assets
• Speed business Information …not designed
transactions to collaborate
• Comply with Technology • Must show rapid,
governance measurable ROI
• Integrate acquisitions • Can’t introduce
• Outsource business operational risk
functions

 Introducing SOA

 An Approach For Building Agile and Flexible

Business Applications
• Loosely coupled systems
= loosely coupled (flexible)
business processes
 SOA Is Not:
• A product or application
• A specific technology
• A specific standard
• A specific set of rules

SOA-1: Fundamentals of Service-Oriented Architecture 6 © 2006 Progress Software Corporation

 Service Provider
It’s all about Services…

 Accomplishes A Defined, Self-

Contained Unit Of Work
• Does not depend on the state
Service Interface
of other process/functions
 Internal Details Hidden Service Implementation

• Programming language Service

Logic
Data
• The execution logic
• The data store (if any)
 Exposes An Agreed-Upon Interface
• Stable- built to last!

 Service Contract
Terms And Conditions For Service Requestor

 What Service Operations Are Available

• The input & output messages supported by
each operation
• The data representation
model of each message's
contents
 Rules/Policies For Using
The Service
 Quality Of Service Aspects

SOA-1: Fundamentals of Service-Oriented Architecture 8 © 2006 Progress Software Corporation

 Implementing Service Contracts
Some possibilities…

 Hardcopy Specification
 Shared XML Schema
 Representational State Transfer (REST)
• HTTP Get/Post/Put/Delete and XML
 Web Service Description Language (WSDL)
• Available business methods (“operations”)
• Message structure (data fields, types)
• Bindings for operations (SOAP over HTTP)

 Processes Are Fragmented

Applications deployed in
different departments

become silos of data
