5. Why a Service Bus?
• The Point-to-Point problem
Application Service Database
Service
Application EJB
Service Service
Application Service Service SAP
SOAP SOAP

6. Location Transparency
• Isolate from changes to service location
Service Bus HostA
New Hire SOAP SOAP
Initialize Benefits
Process Route to Service
HostB
HostB
Initialize Benefits
Service

7. Backwards Compatibility
• Isolate from changes to service contract/interface
Service Bus
SOAP SOAP
Customer Process Order
Portal Transform Service
<1.0>
Message
<2.0> 1.0
CSR App 2.0

8. Service Enablement
• Allow multiple protocols/messages to participate in a
SOA
Service Bus
SOAP JMS
Expense
Transform Payroll Service
Reimbursement
Process FTP
Transform Submit Expense
Report Service
Inventory
SOAP
Management JMS Transform Check Order
App Status Service

9. Dynamic Routing
• Use business rules to determine destination service
Service Bus
New Employee
SOAP Service
HR Portal Title =
SOAP
Manger?
Transform New Manager
Service

10. Message Enrichment
• Update message using the response from another
service
...
<Customer
History>
...
Service Bus
Insurance Call Transform Rate Quote
Portal Service Message Service
Get Customer
History Service

11. Service Orchestration
• Compose new services from existing ones
Service Bus
SOAP Account
Validation Service

14. Roadmap
1. Enterprise Service Bus
2. Service Bus Technologies
• Web Service Fundamentals
• XML Fundamentals
3. Proxy Service Development
4. Service Management and Monitoring

15. Web Service Description Language
(WSDL)
• Is an XML document
• Generated by tools
• Acts as a Web Service contract:
• Elements Employee getEmployeeDept()
• Operations
Department getAllDepts()
• Bindings
• Ports ("endpoints")
SOAPEmployeeService
http://services.bea.com/employeeservice

16. Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)
• Is a remote function protocol based on XML
• Used to invoke Web Services
• Wraps messages in an envelope protocol
• Supports headers and attachments
Communications Envelope
(HTTP, SMTP, FTP, etc.)
Client
Application SOAP Envelope
<Headers/>
</Body>
Service
SOAP Attachments

17. Universal Description, Discovery, and
Integration (UDDI)
• Metadata structure to classify and catalog services
• SOAP interface to communicate with a service
registry ("digital telephone book")
Publish Service Service Registry
Discover Service
Service WSDL + metadata
Development &
Management Tools SOAP WSDL + metadata

18. XML Schema
• Defines the structure of other XML documents
• Is itself an XML document
• Allows for faster message validation and processing
• Has a unique ID called a namespace
<xs:schema targetNamespace="http://schemas.bea.com/purchase"
xmlns="http://schemas.bea.com/purchase"
xmlns:po="http://schemas.bea.com/purchase"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="PurchaseOrder">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="Location" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="Items" type="ItemList"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
...
</schema>
1
011

19. XPath
• Is a standard XML expression language
• Used to identify or locate portions of an XML
document
• Attributes
• Elements
<PurchaseOrder>
//PurchaseOrder/Item/@line <Item line="1">
<price>49.99</price>
<quantity>3</quantity>
</Item>
<Item line="2">
//PurchaseOrder/Item/price <price>9.49</price>
<quantity>1</quantity>
</Item>
</PurchaseOrder> 1
011

20. XQuery
• Structured language for working with XML
documents:
• Strongly typed
• Variables, operators, conditions, loops
• Library and custom functions
• Relational database queries
• Supports XPath
return <items>
<items>
for $item in //PurchaseOrder/Item <price>49.99</price>
order by $item/title <price>9.49</price>
return <price>{$item/price}<price> </items>
return </items>

21. Extensible Stylesheet Language
Transformations (XSLT)
• Alternative to XQuery for XML transformations:
• Loosely typed scripting language
• Does not require XML Schema
• More tolerant of malformed XML
• Supports XPath
<xsl:stylesheet>
<xsl:template match="//Item"> <line id="1">
<line id="{@line}"> 49.99
<xsl:value-of select="price"/> </line>
</line> <line id="2">
</xsl:template> 9.49
</line>
</xsl:stylesheet>
