Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a way of organizing software. If

your company's development projects adhere to the principles of SOA, the

outcome will be an inventory of modular units called "services," which

allow for a quick response to change. This book tells the SOA story in a

simple, straightforward manner that will help you understand not only

the buzzwords and benefits, but also the technologies that underlie SOA:

XML, WSDL, SOAP, XPath, BPEL, SCA, and SDO. And through it all, the

authors provide business examples and illustrations, giving a practical

meaning to abstract ideas. SOA for the Business Developer

- Gives a detailed overview of Extensible Markup Language (XML),

including namespaces and XML schema.

- Describes Web Services Definition Language (WSDL) and SOAP, the

standard SOA technologies.

- Gives a clear tutorial on XML Path Language (XPath), a language for

deriving data from transmitted messages and other sources. XPath is

useful for working with a variety of other technologies, including

several described in this book.

- Gives comprehensive details on BPEL 2.0, a language that coordinates

services and whose preceding version is already in numerous products.

Our coverage is sufficient for most of your work with BPEL and includes

a quick-reference guide.

- Introduces Service Component Architecture (SCA), a proposed standard

for composing and deploying applications. You're sure to hear more of

SCA, which is sponsored by 18 companies, including IBM, Oracle, and Sun

Microsystems.

- Introduces Service Data Objects (SDO), a proposed standard for

representing data in a single way, even if the data comes from different

types of data sources. SDO is likely to accompany SCA into the

limelight.
