This book demonstrates service-oriented architecture (SOA) as a concrete
discipline rather than a hopeful collection of cloud charts. Built upon
the author’s firsthand experience rolling out a SOA at a major
corporation, SOA in Practice explains how SOA can simplify the creation
and maintenance of large-scale applications. Whether your project
involves a large set of Web Services-based components, or connects
legacy applications to modern business processes, this book clarifies
how — and whether — SOA fits your needs. SOA has been a vision for
years. This book brings it down to earth by describing the real-world
problems of implementing and running a SOA in practice. After defining
SOA’s many facets, examining typical use patterns, and exploring how
loose coupling helps build stronger applications, SOA in Practice
presents a framework to help you determine when to take advantage of
SOA. In this book you will:
- Focus squarely on real deployment and technology, not just standards
maps
- Examine business problems to determine which ones fit a SOA approach
before plastering a SOA solution on top of them
- Find clear paths for building solutions without getting trapped in
the mire of changing web services details
- Gain the experience of a systems analyst intimately involved with
SOA
