HIGHLIGHT Open Source SOA shows readers how to build state-of-the-art SOA applications using freely-available open-source technologies. DESCRIPTION You can build a world-class SOA infrastructure entirely using popular, and mature, open-source applications. Unfortunately, the technical documentation for most open-source projects focuses on a specific product, the big SOA picture. You're left to your own devices to figure out how to cobble together a full solution from the various bits. In other words, unless you already know how Mule and Tuscany work with jBPM, you're stuck. Open Source SOA shows readers how to build an entire SOA application using open-source technologies. It shows readers how to apply key ideas like Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) design and Business Process Management (BPM) and learn the tools and techniques to implement them effectively. To pull everything together, the author describes real-life case studies from his own work to tie together all the principles and practices. These hard-to-find case studies are pure gold for the reader, as most developers keep these trade secrets to themselves. KEY POINTS * Theory--what SOA really represents * Enablers--SOA core technologies * Open-source applications that address the core technology * Best-of-breed open-source solutions * Real-life case studies MARKET INFORMATION SOA is a fact of life for enterprise developers. Open source technologies have caught up with--and in many cases, surpassed--their commercial rivals in terms of power, ease of use, and sophistication. This book shows a Java EE developer how to apply SOA techniques using the best-of-breed open-sources tools.

本书介绍了面向服务的架构（SOA）的基本概念和蓝图，对构成SOA的方方面面，包括服务编写和组装、业务流程建模、事件处理和报告、企业集成总线、决策服务等进行了全方位的介绍，并以“开放SOA平台”为目标，与读者一道搜罗了大量可选方案进行对比，最终选择了一系列开源产品组成完整的SOA解决方案。作者拥有多年企业软件开发经验，在本书中，他以真实世界的案例向我们展示了开源SOA的价值和实现方法。不论你是业务用户、架构师还是一线开发人员，都能从本书得到大量的启发和实战参考。
