I have looked on the web but I am confused as to whether a wrapper service wraps a legacy application, or a set of complex services. Update: Judging by the answers I have received there is no accepted definition for a "wrapper service" in SOA, and after further investigation I realised that "wrapper services" depends on who defines it. ...
Looking for some resources on SOA / BPEL best practices. Specially BPEL. ...
I have been looking alot at SOA recently. Isn't CORBA exactly the same thing as SOA? ...
I'm am trying to figure out how the Oracle "Layered Architecture Model" works, and I am very confused about what the business, data, and presentation do, and how they relate to each other. I have seen many diagrams showing how this should work, but some real world examples would be useful? For example I am guessing that web applications...
I've always developed code in a SOA type of way. This year I've been trying to do more DDD but I keep getting the feeling that I'm not getting it. At work our systems are load balanced and designed not to have state. The architecture is: Website ===Physical Layer== Main Service ==Physical Layer== Server 1/Service 2/Service 3/Servi...
I'm creating a distributed application that includes a lot of services and I'm looking for the technology that allows me to create and manage a lot of services easily. I know managing and deploying windows services is not fun. I'm thinking of using ASP.NET MVC as service host of my services where each controller action becomes essentia...
I have WCF Per-Call service wich provides data for clients and at the same time is integrated with NServiceBus. All statefull objects are stored in UnityContainer wich is integrated into custom service host. NServiceBus is configured in service host and uses same container as service instances. Every client has its own instance context(d...
I've been doing a lot of research lately about SOA and ESB's etc. I'm working on redesigning some legacy systems at work now and would like to build it with more of a SOA architecture than it currently has. We use these services in about 5 of our websites and one of the biggest problems we have right now with our legacy system is that ...
Can i use a proxy service without a business service while configuring message flows in Oracle service bus? If so is what scenarios would we use it? ...
Is there a better way in WCF werein we could avoid the translation betwee business entities and service entities, just to avoid the whole translator logic for complex entities.Any insight on this topic is welcome ...
I consider a self-described / auto-descriptive service as a good thing in a SOA architecture, since (almost) everything you know to call the service is present in the service contract (such a WSDL). Sample of a non self-described service for me is Facebook Query Language (FQL http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/FQL), or any we...
Here's my problem. I built a web app, and naturally kept the data in a database which describes that app's domain. Afterwords, I built another web app for the same organization, and used a seperate database to describe that app's domain and store data... and naturally a couple more projects came up and for each app I've isolated it's dat...
When do distributed transactions make sense in a service-oriented architecture? ...
Building a new ASP.net application, and planning to separate DB, 'service' tier and Web/UI tier into separate physical layers. What is the best/easiest strategy to move serialized objects between the service tier and the UI tier? I was considering serializing POCOs into JSON using simple ASP.net pages to serve the middle tier. Meaning...
Is using Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) in a system means this system distributed systems ? ...
Hi. I am using apache servicemix and apache activeMQ in my product. Here in case of HttpConnector i found a performance issue. If i increase number of total request at a time then as the number will increase exchange queue gets stuck on any of the component. After all the requests start processing, most of the exchange gets stuck at th...
Our architect has spoken about using SOA techniques throughout our codebase, even on interfaces that are not actually hosted as a service. One of his requests is that we design our interface methods so that we make no assumptions about the actual implementation. So if we have a method that takes in an object and needs to update a propert...
I'm new to SOA (and to Stack Overflow too...) Some services and web applications we are developing must all log audit information. We are considering an audit service for this. Is there any SOA governing principal that should make me think twice about having one of the services call the audit service to log information? A service-to-ser...
I plan on doing a little benchmarking around this question, myself. But I thought it would be good to get some initial feedback from "the community". Has anyone out there done any analysis regarding the pros and cons of these two technologies? My thoughts: Opening and closing TCP/IP connections for web service calls is relatively ex...
Hello, I have used JMS in the past to build application and it works great. Now I work with Architects that would love to use the Spec : SOAP over Java Message Service 1.0. This spec seams overly complicated. I do not see many implementation (Beside the vendors pushing for the spec). Does anyone here is using this specification in a p...
