What is SOA?

• Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is an approach for building distributed systems that deliver application functionality as loosely-coupled services

• SOA:

� Provides standard way to represent and interact with application functionality

� Leverages open standards

� Enables reuse of services

� Creates new applications from existing components

� Integrates applications outside the enterprise

� Focuses on application assembly


SOA in Action - Tax Calculation

Traditional Architecture

• Many applications

• Multiple, different

tax routines

• High maintenance

Components In Action


JBoss SOA Customer – Financial Services

• Cost benefits and agility are drivers

• JBoss JEMS is app. and integration fabric� Using JBoss Cache and clustering capabilities for

performance and scalability

• Refactoring old applications� Create pools of dynamic coarse grain services� Using stateless session beans for endpoints� Focused units of functionality� Using interceptors for cross-cutting concerns

• Some web services for third party interaction (SOAP/WSDL/UDDI)

• Looking at JBoss jBPM for process mgmt.


JBoss SOA Customer – Insurance Company

• Complexity and cost of traditional EAI drove a different approach� Increasing number of applications including new

Oracle 11i installations need integration� Dozens of interface points to define as SOA

• Used JBoss JEMS as SOA framework� Built enterprise service bus decoupling apps� Services are stateless session EJBs� Some web services

• Adapter framework plugged into ESB for data transfer and transformation� Mainframe data to JBoss SOA fabric to Oracle 11i


JBoss SOA Customer – Media Company

• Duplication, responsiveness, and competitiveness were business pain points

• JBoss Application Server became primary hosting environment for SOA services

� Light weight web services for portal consumption

• Enterprise Portal for user interaction

� > 1 million pages per day driven from SOA

� Thousands of partners and companies are part of SOA utilization

• Looking at adding JBoss Portal to reduce cost and leverage open source

� Eliminate proprietary portal lock in points


The SOA Journey: More than Technology

• What are the right steps to guarantee overall success?� Implementing a Service-Oriented Architecture is a

journey: start small, build library of services, prove ROI at each step

• How can you improve ROI while reducing risk?� Requires that proprietary interfaces become

standards-based� Requires enterprise-wide governance

• How can you realize the benefits of SOA?� SOA requires a combination of security,

management, integration, process, and architecture tools

JEMS and the JBoss Ecosystem of Partners


• Better Software� Peer Review

� Accelerated Software Evolution

� Extended QA through OSS Community

• Better Service� Incentives

� Transparency

� Experts Up-Front

• Better Value� Zero License Fees

� Freedom from Vendor Lock-in

� Elimination of Linear Costs
