Best of the Web - Web Services
|
|
More companies are turning to so-called Web Services these days to help migrate their legacy systems to secure Internet-based systems. The move helps companies solve the problem of integrating different systems -- say, one based on Microsoft's Windows operating system with one based on Sun Microsystem's Unix-based network -- without having to rewrite code for every operating system.

An Introduction to Service-Oriented Architecture from a Java Developer Perspective
|
|
The use of heterogeneous technologies and applications in corporations is a reality. At a time when resources are scarce, IT shops cannot just throw away their existing applications; rather, they must leverage their existing investments. Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is popular because it lets you reuse applications and it promises interoperability between heterogeneous applications and technologies.

Enterprise solutions typically aggregate information from myriad internal applications and external sources. Web services have gained rapid adoption as a method to easily and reliably consume the varied data required by these solutions. Situations inevitably arise in which a single solution requires the consumption of multiple complementary Web services, which often share company-specific or domain-specific XML types.

Service-oriented architectures (SOA) have gained much attention recently as a unifying technical architecture that can be concretely embodied with Web service technologies. SOA is a design model deeply rooted in the concept of encapsulating application logic within services that interact via a common communications framework. A key aspect of the Web service incarnation of SOA is that the Web service is viewed as a fundamental building block of an SOA-based application.
