SOA Design Patterns

Just like Design Patterns, Enterprise Integration Patterns and Architecture Patterns, Thomas Erl comes with a SOA Design Pattern book.
InfoQ has an interview with him: read interview

He states that a SOA patterns is something different than a webservice patterns. SOA is about services and a webservice is a technology specific realization of a service. He also states that in fact EAI frameworks and middleware, enterprise service bus platforms, grid computing, transaction management systems, messaging queues, event-driven messaging frameworks, broker and mediation technologies were used as inspiration for the SOA patterns.

He also explains his difference between service orientation and a SOA: "Service-orientation is a distinct paradigm that you apply to achieve a specific target state and a technology architecture is considered service-oriented if it has the characteristics necessary to support the application of this paradigm." Nice and clear right?

I have not read the book (yet), but I will come back to it. Hopefully it helps to answer when a service is a service. Does it have to have business value, or can secondary business functionality like HRM services also be considered services?

OSB 10gR3 and SWA and MTOM

This blog is about using soap with attachments and the use of MTOM within the OSB (10gR3). A service is created that accepts a soap with attachment (DocumentService) and translates it to a service that accepts a binary element. MTOM is used for performance reasons for the second. Some notes: * For the use of attachments you need RPC-style document instead of the usual document-style. This due to the fact that the document-style limits a message to a single . * A service can not have both SWA and MTOM within OSB. First a WSDL is setup for the DocumentService: The $attachments variable holds the attachments and the body holds the attachment data. Also other data is stored within the attachment element (see h...

Cloud to Cloud Application Integration

A lot of applications have integration possibilities, so do cloud applications. The question I got from a customer is whether to have a point-to-point integration with Cloud applications or to go through their ESB solution. This blog describes some considerations. Context The customer has a HRM application in which job vacancies are managed. Furthermore that system also handles the full applicant process flow. They also have another cloud application that handles the job vacancies. This application posts the jobs to social sites and other channels to promote the vacancies. Furthermore this application has some intelligence for job seekers to advice some new vacancies based on previous visits or profiles. The job vacancies need to be sent to the Vacancies application and applicant information needs to be sent to the HRM application, when a job seeker actually applies for a job. Furthermore status information about the job application is als...
