SOA Platforms
• SOA platform basics
• SOA support in J2EE
• SOA support in .NET
• Integration considerations
SOA platform basics
• Basic platform building blocks
• Common SOA platform layers
• Relationship btw SOA layers and tech
• Fundamental service tech architecture
• Vendor platforms
Basic platform building blocks
• Development environment
• Runtime
• APIs
• Operating system
Common SOA platform layers
• Self-contained and composable units
• Encapsulate and expose application logic
Relat. btw SOA layers & tech
• Web technology layer
– Support for first gen Web services
– Support for WS-* specs
– Able to make Web services
• Component technology layer
– Support encapsulation
Relat. btw SOA layers & tech
(cont.)
• Runtime layer
– Capable of hosting components and Web
services
– Provide APIs
• APIs layer
– Support development and processing of
components and Web services
Fund. Service tech architecture
• Service processing task
• Service processing logic
– Message processing logic
– Business logic
• Service agents
Service processing task
