Extend the Reach of Existing Applications
Expose existing applications without change
SOAP & Web 2.0 based access to existing systems
Create a gateway for routing and security
INBOUND and OUTBOUND scenarios
SOAP Web Services Established as Interoperability Standard
– SOAP support allows MB to act as WS-* façade to existing non WS-* applications
• Support for SOAP/HTTP and SOAP/JMS (any), includes transactions & asynchronous processing
– SOAP gateway functionality for WSDL-less, policy based processing in large web service networks
• Examples range from simple service re-direct to payload verify/sign, encrpyt/decprypt with routing
� Web 2.0/REST Provides Lightweight Universal Access
– HTTP ubiquity & REST semantic provide universal access to existing systems
– Popular with both XML and JSON payloads (JSON for lightweight clients)
� Outbound Scenarios enable Existing Applications to request New Services
– Existing application can invoke and exploit new services with existing technology
� Typical Customers
– US Payroll Corp. exposes MQ applications via self service SOAP interface for responsiveness & accuracy
