I'm using netbeans to develop some BPEL but can't figure out how to add a switch-case block, it's not in the palette anywhere. I'm using netbeans 6.5. Any ideas? Switch is definitely a valid element: http://charltonb.typepad.com/weblog/2003/08/bpel4ws_switch_.html It's also mentioned in the course materials I'm running through. ...
What strategy will you choose, to protect your investment in software (or which stragegy does your company have choosen)? If you search strategies at Google you might find a lot of results, showing company ads without any consistent message. It seems all to be fluff. I've heard a lot about strategic actions to improve the overall ROI. ...
You have a good software product, so why would you make it SOA compatible? ...
Some of the SOA foundations are: Loosely Coupled Reusability Stateless Services Formal contracts between Services Coarse Granularity Asynchrony Abstract Underlying logic (black box) Composable (services as building blocks) Discoverable services Autonomous services Most of them could be applied to Cloud Computing, so my question is...
Currently inside my organization we are trying to come up w/ some conventions for a pilot SOA project. At first glance we thought it would be best to force users of the service to use the business service w/out direct access to any data endpoints .. but are there specific scenarios where this is not true or it might be "valid" for devel...
Can somebody provide real world examples of software products or applications (commercial or open source) that have SOA in them? Like for example some X company claiming that the latest released version of their software product is now SOA compatible. ...
I have a situation where a single Oracle system is the data master for two seperate CRM Systems (PeopleSoft & Siebel). The Oracle system sends CRUD messages to BizTalk for customer data, inventory data, product info and product pricing. BizTalk formats and forwards the messages on to PeopelSoft & Siebel web service interfcaes for actio...
I've got a requirement to pass parameters as Xml to my stored procedures. I have a WCF service in the middle tier that makes calls to my data layer which in turn forwards the request to the appropriate stored procedure. The design is that the WCF service is responsible for building the Xml to pass to the Repository. I'm just wondering...
I am a total newbie to the world of SOA. As such, I am looking at some "SOA frameworks/technologies", and trying to understand how to utilize them to build a highly scalable (Facebook class) website. There are several "pains" I am trying to solve here: Composability (+ managing dependencies, Pub/Sub) Language-independence of services ...
Let's suppose I have a large middleware infrastructure mediating requests between several business components (customer applications, network, payments, etc). The middleware stack is responsible for orchestration, routing, transformation and other stuff (similar to the Enterprise Integration Patterns book by Gregor Hohpe). My question i...
I'm new to WCF and in a large part, also distributed programming. I am working on a project that requires 4 discrete services. I am trying to correctly define the responsibilities for each component of each service. Suppose I have service B which needs to communicate with service A. For each service, I have defined the service implem...
What are the service oriented architecture/webservices features available in IDE. ...
Are there any open source centralized authorization services available? There are lots of solutions for centralizing the authentication information (eg: CAS and JOSSO), but what about the authorization information? There are some really good authorization frameworks (eg: Spring Security (formerly Acegi) and Seam Security), but it seems...
I saw an interesting blank page today titled "saml post profile intersite transit." What is SAML? What was it created for? What is it commonly used for? What was the page I mentioned above all about? What functions does it provide that it's rarely used for but are otherwise interesting? Is there something better or other technology tha...
Yop I would like to know what guys are using to make diagram of your application/service architecture ? I would like to make diagrams representing the different layer of the whole application and for some parts go deeper (class level) Visio is it a good deal for this? thx in advance. ...
Do you know any blueprints for organizing a WCF application in a way similar to Service Factory? The problem is that although Service Factory is well organized, my application is a medium-sized one and it would be an overkill to use the factory - some of the sub-projects that the factory creates for me, I wouldn't ever use. So what are...
Please forgive me if this question is dense. Background: We have several internal applications that integrate at the database. We are looking at how to break that up, and it seems like moving to an architecture where each application exposes its functionality through services, instead of calling other apps' databases, makes the most se...
How do we create a business object using Java snipplet in Bpel process (in IBM Integration Developer) when the element is of anonymous type and is a subelemnt of a parent element? ...
I'm considering an SOA architecture for a set of servives to support a business that Im consulting for, previously we used database integration where each application picked out what it need from a shared MS SQL database and worked with it etc.. We had various apps integrating with the monster database including java, .net and microsoft ...
I had a conversation with one of our architects recently and he summarized his use of SOA as "The only time we'll use services is when we need async actions otherwise we'll use go direct to the data store" I thought about this statement and it seems fairly logical as services work well in a publish subscribe model, but I was wondering i...
