Service Oriented Architecture
ƒ Application functionality contained
in building blocks
ƒ Create complete applications by
connecting blocks together
ƒ Model business relationships by
providing blocks to others and
using others' blocks
ƒ Building blocks are services

Service Oriented Architecture
ƒ A Service Oriented Architecture enables flexible connectivity of applications or
resources by
¾ Representing every application or resource as a service with a standardized interface
¾ Enabling them to exchange structured information (messages, documents, ‘business
objects’)
¾ Mediating the message exchange through a service integration bus
¾ Providing on-ramps to the bus for legacy application environments
ƒ This allows quick combination of new and existing applications to address
changing business needs and improve operational effectiveness by managing
the topology of the application ‘network’
ƒ The SOA infrastructure is also used to facilitate the management of business
performance and quality of service

Characteristics of Service
Oriented Architecture
Reduced interdependency between
software assets.
Service Oriented
Architecture
Standards Based
Allows individual
software assets to
become building blocks
that can be reused in
developing other
applications (application
assembly).
Shared services
Loosely Coupled
Leverages open
standards to represent
software assets as
services (XML, SOAP,
WSDL, UDDI, …).
Federated Control
Federated and policy based security,
management and deployment.

A Couple of Best Practices
Services are defined
using explicit interfaces
that are independent of
service implementations,
and that both service
requestors and service
providers agree to.
A service encapsulates a well-defined
invoke-able unit of business function,
and exists either to provide information
or to facilitate a change of business
data from one valid and consistent
state to another.
Services neither
Service A
remember the last
thing they were asked
to do nor care what
the next is, and are not
dependent on the context or
state of other services.
Service B
Service C
Services should be invokeable through defined
communication protocols that
stress interoperability and
location transparency.
Any dependencies between services should be
defined in terms of common business process,
function and data models.

The Art of Service Interface
Design
Few, large-grained interactions
Every interaction the same
Each interaction fufills one step
in a business process. There is
no shared process at a lower
level, and no shared state
between calls (only business
data)
Code API
Flexibility
Service API
Many, small-grained interactions
Service
Granularity
Lots of APIs
scope for variation
Balancing Act
between interactions
Code
APIs
Many interactions required to
complete one step in a
Complexity
business process.
Much shared
process and state in these
interactions
André Tost — How To Develop Applications For Business Integration: Pulling J2EE, SOA and Web Services Together
Impact
Less frequent interaction, but
more data in each interaction
Less complex to change if one
aspect of the interaction must
change
All requestors must agree with
the provider about the way the
provider service works
Less complexity to understand
or coordinate if the requestor or
provider need to change
Process, state and data models
need only agree at the level of
shared business process

SOA in the Enterprise
As a counter-example, consider the
use of simple SOAP/HTTP wrappers
Existing component or components providing services (Legacy, Applications, EAI Middleware etc.)
SOAP/HTTP and WSDL leverage
URL addressing and the existing HTTP
and DNS infrastructure for Service
Oriented Architecture.
But they do not address
enterprise requirements for SOA:
Multiple qualities of service
Widespread integration and
interoperability
Transformations and mediations
Substitution of service
implementations
Critically, management of an SOA
“infrastructure” provided in this way
is distributed between service
endpoints and the existing
infrastructure.

Service Bus Components

“Enterprise Service Bus”
ƒ
Analysts describe a middleware capability …
¾ “…a new architecture that exploits Web Services, messaging middleware, intelligent routing and
transformation…” Roy Schulte, Gartner, Predicts 2003: Enterprise Service Buses Emerge
ƒ
Vendors talk about their low cost Java and Web Services “bus” solutions and contrast
them to “high cost, proprietary hub and spoke EAI middleware”.
¾ “Message brokers tend to be rather heavy duty and often require significant additional skills … In
contrast, an ESB is a pre-packaged SOA implementation ...” Steve Craggs, Best of Breed ESBs …
distributed by Polar Lake, Sonic, Fiorano, etc.
ƒ
IT shops have built their own … primarily using XML with EAI technology (e.g. message
brokers or adaptors) or HTTP.
ƒ
My view:
¾ ESB is a logical infrastructure component that can be described by patterns
¾ The ESB is defined by capabilities required to support SOA in the Enterprise in combination with
other integration styles (messages and events)
¾ The ESB provides a means to concentrate control and distribute topology

Minimum ESB capabilities for SOA
ƒ If we require ESB to support our definition of SOA and add :
¾ The ESB provides the means to manage the service infrastructure and
the capability to operate in today’s distributed, heterogeneous
environment.
ƒ We can define a minimum capability ESB implementation:
Communication
ƒRouting and addressing services providing
location transparency.
ƒAn administration capability
ƒAt least one messaging paradigm (e.g.
request / response, pub/sub, etc.).·
ƒAt least one transport protocol that is or can
be made widely available.
Integration
ƒSupport for multiple means of
integration, e.g. Java 2 Connectors,
Web Services, etc.
Service Interaction
ƒService messaging and interfacing model.

ESB in Terms of Existing and
Future Technology
ƒ
We can position current and future technologies:
¾ “Whilst packaged ESB technologies will mature they are not the only way to
implement an ESB.”
¾ “SOAP/HTTP provides opportunistic integration capabilities, but not an ESB.”
¾ “ESB capabilities are available in existing products such as WebSphere Application
Server, Web Services Gateway or WebSphere Business Integration”.
ƒ
We can address some specific customer pain points:
¾ Many enterprises have implemented a bespoke “service bus”, often using
proprietary XML data models and MOM like WebSphere MQ.
¾ This definition of ESB does not mandate the use of Web Services.
¾ We can suggest enterprises evolve towards a more standard based approach
whilst retaining their investment in existing technology.
¾ The flexible definition is consistent with an incremental approach.
ƒ
We can respond to a range of requirements in the marketplace:
¾ We can include basic SOAP and JMS-based solutions, but also position more
sophisticated offerings.

Service Component Model
Requirements
ƒ We need an analogous abstraction for a service-oriented component
model
¾ An abstraction that covers stateless session EJBs, web services, POJOs,
BPEL4WS processes, database access, JCA access, etc.
¾ Separates “business logic” from “infrastructure logic”
• application programmers can focus on business problem
• application logic can be much more portable
• Not everyone has to be an IT infrastructure expert
¾ Covers both usage of services/components and development of
services/components
¾ A uniform model for application programmers and for tools
• Enables advanced, domain-specific, task-oriented tools
¾ Uniform programming model for “programming in the small” (application
development) and “programming in the large” (application integration)
• Integrates with and provides programming model for the Enterprise Service Bus
– ESB enables mediated application integration without modifying existing
applications

Service Component Model
Requirements (Continued)
ƒ Not a new set of middleware abstractions!!
¾ Why would anyone think they could do a better job than J2EE?
¾ Instead, implement on top of existing middleware including J2EE and EJBs
ƒ Rather it’s a component model that allows you to separate your
business logic from your infrastructure logic by building:
¾ “business logic components” – service components whose implementation
contains only business logic and calls to other service components
¾ and
¾ “infrastructure components” – service components that encapsulate the
code that calls the J2EE APIs and expose business interfaces to “business
logic components”
ƒ Infrastructure components are part of the business application and have
APIs that are specific to the business application that they are part of.
ƒ It also raises the bar of container support for components by providing
a declarative approach to asynchronous programming and other
features

What Is an ESB Mediation?
ƒ The ability to manipulate a message as it traverses the bus
¾ Transform the message
¾ Reroute the message to a different destination (or sequence of
destinations)
¾ Copy and route the message to additional destinations
¾ Allow interaction with non-messaging resource managers (e.g.
Databases)

Page 62
Colorado Software Summit: October 24 – 29, 2004

The Basics of the Model
ƒ Mediations are “message handlers”
¾
¾
¾
¾
They operate an a message or service request/reply
They are weakly or “generically” typed
They are independent of the end-point applications
Applications do not need to be modified when a mediation is added
ƒ We will want to compose or aggregate individual pieces of function
¾ By providing a collection of configurable (template) mediation components
¾ Administratively or programmatically
¾ Simple chains are a primary model but more complex graphs are also required and
supported

Elements of a BPEL Process:
Variables
ƒ Hold data that constitutes the state of a process
¾ May be received from or sent to partners
¾ Can be specified as input or output variables for invoke, receive, and

Elements of a BPEL Process:
Partner Links
ƒ Partner: BPEL term for any entity that a process is interacting with
¾ Business Partner, i.e. a web service
¾ Internal Service, i.e. an EJB
¾ Process Starter, e.g. a web application
¾ ...
ƒ Partner Link: "Placeholder" for a partner
¾ Part of the process definition
¾ No need to specify concrete service endpoints within the process model
¾ Allows for late binding of partners (at assembly time ↔ build time)
ƒ Allows for long-running, stateful interactions with a partner
