SOA Service Oriented Architecture has become the leading solution for complex, connected business systems. While it's easy to grasp the theory of SOA, implementing well-designed, practical SOA systems can be a difficult challenge. Developers and enterprise architects still face the following issues: * How to get high-availability with SOA * How to know a service has failed * How to create reports when data is scattered within multiple services * How to increase the loose coupling of your SOA * How to solve authentication and authorization for service consumers--internal and external * How to integrate SOA and the UI * How to avoid common SOA pitfalls * How to choose technologies that increase the performance of your services In SOA Patterns, author Arnon Rotem-Gal-Oz provides detailed, technology-neutral solutions to these challenges, and many others. This book provides architectural guidance through patterns and anti-patterns. It shows you how to build real SOA services that feature flexibility, availability, and scalability. Through an extensive set of patterns, this book identifies the major SOA pressure points and provides reusable techniques to address them. Each pattern pairs the classic Problem/Solution format with a unique technology map, showing where specific solutions fit into the general pattern. SOA Patterns shows you how to address common SOA concerns, including the areas of performance, availability, scalability, security, management, service interaction, user interface interaction, and service aggregation. The SOA anti-patterns part shows you how to avoid common mistakes and how to refactor broken systems. The book also maps quality attributes to patterns so that you can easily find the patterns relevant to your problems. WHAT'S INSIDE: * Details more than 30 patterns for common SOA scenarios in the areas of security, performace, availability, UI integration, service aggregation and service interaction * Describes more than 20 SOA pitfalls to avoid * Spotlights the architecural perspective on SOA * Explains technology mapping from conceptual solution to current technologies * Provides extensive and practical advice on matching patterns to technologies
