- 4. Architecture • Architecture implies a consistent and coherent design approach. Essential principles include: • Consistency: The same challenges should be addressed in a uniform way. • Reliability: The structures created must be fit to purpose and meet the demands for which they are designed. • Extensibility: A design must provide a framework that can be expanded in ways both foreseen and unforeseen. • Scalability: The implementation must be capable of being scaled to accommodate increasing load by adding hardware to the solution.
- 6. Service-Oriented Architecture Overview SOA is the architectural style that supports loosely coupled services to enable business flexibility in an interoperable, technology agnostic manner. SOA consists of a composite set of business-aligned services that support a flexible and dynamically re-configurable end-to-end business process realization using interface-based service descriptions.
- 7. Service-Oriented Architecture Overview Providing a method to disconnect the service provider (service capability which delivers a defined action) from the service requester (client that sends the request).
- 8. Service-Oriented Architecture WHAT IS A SERVICE?
- 9. Service-Oriented Architecture What is a Service? • A service is a reusable component that can be used as a building block to form larger, more complex business-application functionality. • A service may be as simple as “get me some person data,” or as complex as “process a disbursement.”
- 10. Service-Oriented Architecture What is a Service? • A service provides a discrete business function that operates on data. Its job is to ensure that the business functionality is applied consistently, returns predictable results, and operates within the quality of service required. • How the service is implemented, and how a user of the service accesses it, are limited only by the SOA infrastructure choices of the enterprise. • From a theory point of view, it really doesn’t matter how a service is implemented.
- 11. Service-Oriented Architecture CHARACTERISTICS OF A SERVICE?
- 12. Service-Oriented Architecture Characteristics of a Service? • Supports open standards for integration: Although proprietary integration mechanisms may be offered by the SOA infrastructure, SOA’s should be based on open standards. Open standards ensure the broadest integration compatibility opportunities. • Loose coupling: The consumer of the service is required to provide only the stated data on the interface definition, and to expect only the specified results on the interface definition. The service is capable of handling all processing (including exception processing).
- 13. Service-Oriented Architecture Characteristics of a Service? • Stateless: The service does not maintain state between invocations. It takes the parameters provided, performs the defined function, and returns the expected result. If a transaction is involved, the transaction is committed and the data is saved to the database. • Location agnostic: Users of the service do not need to worry about the implementation details for accessing the service. The SOA infrastructure will provide standardized access mechanisms with service-level agreements.
- 17. Enterprise Integration Patterns Why Do We Need Integration? What Makes Integration so Hard? How can Patterns Help?
- 18. Enterprise Integration Patterns • Integration Styles document different ways applications can be integrated. These patterns present somewhat of a historical account of integration technologies. All subsequent patterns follow the Messaging style. • Channel Patterns describe the fundamental attributes of a messaging system. These patterns are implemented by most commercial messaging systems. This section focuses on the interrelationships between different features and highlights implementation trade-off made by different vendors. • Message Construction Patterns describe the intent, form and content of the messages that travel across the messaging system. The base pattern for this section is the Message pattern. • Routing Patterns discuss mechanisms to direct messages from a sender to the correct receiver. Message routing patterns consume messages from one channel and republish the message to another channel that is determined by a varying set of conditions. The message content is not modified. The patterns presented in this section are special cases of the Message Router base pattern.
- 19. Enterprise Integration Patterns • Transformation Patterns change the information content of a message. In many cases, a message format needs to be changed due to different data formats used by the sending and the receiving system. Data may have to be added, taken away or existing data may have to be rearranged. The base pattern for this section is the Message Translator. • Endpoint Patterns describe the behavior of messaging system clients. They illustrate different ways in which applications can produce or consume messages. • System Management Patterns provide the tools to keep a complex message- based system running. A message-based integration solution can process thousands or even millions of messages in a day. Messages are generated, routed, transformed and consumed. The solution has to deal with error conditions, performance bottlenecks and changes in the participating systems. Message management patterns address these requirements.

- 21. Enterprise Service Bus IMPLEMENTATION OF ENTERPRISE INTEGRATION PATTERNS
- 22. Enterprise Service Bus An "Enterprise Service Bus" (ESB) is a system to which all services are connected. Through the enterprise service bus all connected services can also be accessed. Implement Enterprise Integration Patterns
- 23. Enterprise Service Bus • An ESB is used to connect the service requester to the service provider so that messages can be routed between the two platforms. • The ESB is a collection of software components that manage messaging from one part of the network to another. • The ESB handles mismatches between the requesters and providers, including protocol, interface or quality of service mismatches.
- 24. Enterprise Service Bus • The ESB processes messages exchanged between the service endpoints. • In contrast with regular business application components, the ESB is concerned with the flow of the messages through the infrastructure and not just with the business content of the messages. Rather than performing business functions. • The ESB performs mediation capabilities including, routing, transformation, and logging operations on the messages.
- 25. Enterprise Service Bus • An Enterprise Service Bus which acts as central "bridge" or "gateway" to all applications exposing services underneath it. • The term "bus" is an analogy to the internal bus of a computer onto which the CPU, RAM and other chips are connected. An enterprise service bus is typically implemented as a server or a set of servers, and is thus more than just a "network".
- 26. Enterprise Service Bus • Clients and services connected to an enterprise service bus do not communicate directly. They communicate via the ESB. • This is done by having the ESB essentially expose the same service interface to potential clients, that the connected services expose to the ESB.
- 27. Enterprise Service Bus ESB as Single Point of Access • One advantage of connecting clients and services via an enterprise service bus is that clients need only look for services in a single location: The enterprise service bus. • If a service is moved from one server to another, you only need to reconfigure the ESB. The clients still just access the service via the ESB.
- 28. Enterprise Service Bus ESB as Transaction Manager • ESB can coordinate distributed transactions which multiple services participate in. • When multiple distributed services need to participate in a transaction some entity typically has to coordinate the transaction. Rather than forcing the client to do this, the enterprise service bus can do so.
- 29. Enterprise Service Bus ESB as Security Manager • Security aspects like authentication and authorization can be centralized in the enterprise service bus. Even if a service in an application does not have authentication and authorization, the enterprise service bus can require this in the service interface it exposes to potential clients.
- 30. Enterprise Service Bus ESB as Service Proxy • An ESB may function as a gateway or proxy for applications that do not expose a standardized service interface to the world. For instance, lets say an application exposes a Java RMI service. The rest of your network is running on .NET which cannot directly call the RMI service. • To solve this problem you can implement a service proxy in Java which can call the RMI service. The service proxy then exposes a web service interface (SOAP + WSDL) via the ESB to the .NET applications.
- 31. Enterprise Service Bus ESB as Gateway to the World • If some clients need to connect to services running in the outside world, the ESB can potentially function as a gateway to the world outside. Again, security aspects etc. can be added on top of the external service. Furthermore, if the external service is capable of participating in distributed transactions, the ESB can coordinate this too.
- 33. IBM Websphere ESB Websphere ESB is designed to provide an ESB for IT environments built around open standards and SOA. It delivers easy to use functionality that is built on the messaging and web services technologies of Websphere Application Server.
- 34. IBM Websphere ESB • Websphere Integration Developer, is the tool for use with Websphere ESB. It is designed to build applications that will be deployed to either Websphere ESB or Websphere Process Server. • WebSphere ESB supports connectivity between endpoints through a variety of protocols and application programming interfaces (APIs) such as: • WebServices SOAP 1.1 and 1.2 • Java Message Service (JMS) 1.1 • WebSphere MQ • Enterprise Java Bean (EJB) Stateless Session Bean • HTTP • Enterprise Information Systems (EIS) integration using WebSphere Adapters
- 35. IBM Websphere ESB COMMON USED PATTERNS
- 36. Simple Service Proxy Pattern
- 42. Multiple Source Aggregation Pattern
- 43. IBM Websphere ESB SERVICE COMPONENT ARCHITECTURE
- 44. Service Component Architecture • Module, A unite of deployment, where services are packaged together. • Modules can include: • Service components, that hold the business function within a module. • Imports, that are calls to services external to the module. • Exports, that are used to expose components to callers that are external to the module. • Interfaces, which can be associated with one or more components. • Stand-alone references or reference applications that are not defined as SCA components (for exemple, JavaServer Pages). • Other elements, for example WSDL files, Java classes, XSD files.
