IBM WebSphere Developer Technical Journal: Building a powerful, reliable SOA with JMS and WebSphere ESB -- Part 2


IBM WebSphere Developer Technical Journal: Building a powerful, reliable SOA with JMS and WebSphere ESB -- Part 2
The Java Message Service (JMS) standardizes reliable messaging on the J2EE platform. The recently released IBM WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) product offers functionality that is at the core of any environment supporting a service-oriented architecture. This is the second of three articles on integrating JMS messaging with WebSphere ESB, and describes use case scenarios that set the stage for building and deploying a test application for demonstrating this integrated messaging.

Online banking with Apache Geronimo and Axis2, Part 1: The service: Laying down the framework


Online banking with Apache Geronimo and Axis2, Part 1: The service: Laying down the framework
Dive deep into the intricacies of using Apache Geronimo and Axis2 to build a complex Web services application. This three-part tutorial series walks you through building an example online banking Web service, documenting each step of the process so new users can quickly grasp the concepts and build a complete Web service and Web-interface client that connects to and communicates with the Web service. In the first installment, you get acquainted with the example Web service and the Web services that use WSDL, build and compile a WSDL file, and test and deploy it on Geronimo.

Firewalls: Web services' Achilles' Heel? Overcome asynchronous messaging challenges by


Firewalls: Web services' Achilles' Heel?
Overcome asynchronous messaging challenges by using Web Services Polling (WS-Polling). Specifications such as WS-Coordination/Transactions and WS-Reliable Messaging can now assume there's an asynchronous message processing model -- and one that is defined in a standard way -- simply by using the WS-Addressing headers. However, as with many things, there's a downside to using asynchronous message processing and an obstacle to its adoption -- firewalls.

Web services development patterns
Web services have become a standard way of implementing Service Oriented Architectures. Developers have used many patterns of developing these Web services, but these patterns have not been well-defined or discussed. This article describes these development patterns and discusses their advantages and disadvantages in terms of tooling support and results. The analysis is based on real-world experience in developing customer solutions.

From UML to BPEL
This article describes a new tool from part of the Emerging Technologies Toolkit version 1.1 (ETTK) released on alphaWorks which takes processes defined in the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and generates the corresponding BPEL and WSDL files to implement that process. This capability is used to highlight some of the benefits of the Object Management Groups (OMGs) Model Driven Architecture (MDA) initiative: raising the level of abstraction at which development occurs, which, in turn, will deliver greater productivity, better quality, and insulation from underlying changes in technology.

Business Information Conformance Statements (BICS) 2
The Business Information Conformance Statement (BICS) specifications define information constraints for service information exchanged by business-to-business (B2B) communications in a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) environment. The BICS 2 specifications describe the core XML framework (BICS 2 core framework) and three constraint mechanisms: W3C XML Schema Constraint Mechanism (WXSCM), Schematron Schema Constraint Mechanism (SSCM), and MIME Constraint Mechanism (MCM).

SOA programming model for implementing Web services, Part 7: Securing service-oriented applications
Securing applications in a service-oriented architecture (SOA) is challenging, because the loose coupling that characterizes an SOA can expose existing security implementations' weaknesses. The following solution includes well-defined trust models based on acceptable forms of proof as well as reliance on policies, Web services security, and security engineering best practices.

Use Apache Sandesha to support Web services implementation
Get an overview of Apache Sandesha and its architecture. Apache Sandesha is an implementation of WS-ReliableMessaging protocol on top of Apache Axis -- the next generation SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) -- that provides extensive support for Web services. As the software industry moves towards Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) promoting the connectivity of many heterogeneous systems to provide enterprise solutions, Web services will play a major role in this movement, and the base for this connectivity will mainly lie on the messages that they interchange.
