Web Services

and
Service Oriented Architecture

Challenges to Implement Todays on demand,

Server-Side Applications
How do I manage transactions?
How do my applications find the
components they need?
How do I easily access other
applications and data in a
consistent manner?

WebSphere/J2EE

.NET

Which one is best on the

servers?

How do I optimize for performance?

How do I handle security?
How do I expose my applications to be
used by any client?

Ensuring Interoperability: WS-I

Web Services Interoperability Organization (WS-I)

An open industry group chartered to promote Web services interoperability.

144 members.
http://www.ws-i.org

WS-I published the Basic Profile 1.0 in August 2003.

Profile contains implementation guidelines for the core Web services

specifications:

These guidelines define how these specifications should be used to develop

interoperable Web services.

XML 1.0, XML Schema 1.0, SOAP 1.1, WSDL 1.1 and UDDI 2.0.

WebSphere Studio includes tools to help you check

conformance to the Basic Profile 1.0

Expose Existing Objects as Web Services

OK, I see that interoperability is
possible through web services.
But how do I get my legacy
applications to talk web
services?
Expose legacy applications

wizards to expose different

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)

A system architecture in which application functions are built
as components (services) that are loosely-coupled and welldefined to support interoperability, and to improve flexibility
and re-use

Application functions are exposed as services

A service has a standardized interface

Services exchange messages through a service integration bus

Tools to quickly assemble services into end-to-end business

process flows
