Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) promises a great leap forward in the re-use of applications by simplifying application composition. The technology that simplifies application composition is Service Component Architecture (SCA). SCA is an open component architecture for wiring services together to build composite applications. WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus provides the on-ramp and off-ramp to incorporate many different applications and services into an SOA solution. In this IBM Redbooks publication we introduce SCA and how it has evolved from earlier application integration architectures. We explain how WebSphere ESB connects applications and components to the service bus by using adapters and other types of SCA imports and exports. Our main focus is helping you sort through the many choices that need to be made when deciding how to connect applications together to meet the requirements of a business scenario. We propose six different solution patterns, each with alternative implementations to choose from, to take on most integration scenarios. We also provide seven worked examples of some of the alternatives, which are fully described in the text, and are also available as working samples from the ITSO Redbooks Web site.

Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is one of the most important topics on the agenda of any IT person. SOA involves a new vision of how to design, develop, and manage applications. It also has new requirements when building an architecture for the underlying infrastructure. This IBM Redbooks publication is the result of a project managed in the IBM European Design Center, based in Montpellier, France. The scope of the project involved helping a major worldwide customer in the automotive industry to validate and justify an SOA implementation. In particular, the customer wanted to add new business values to work with its partners, by adding new data models. It also wanted to modernize an infrastructure, by adding new Internet interfaces. The customer faced the need to eradicate an obsolete programming language. Furthermore, it wanted to build a smooth migration path, with as few risks and costs as possible. The thought, planning, and architecture of the new system, which included integration of the SOA concepts, was built by the customer with the participation of Atos Origin, a leading international IT services provider. The existing customer IT infrastructure was already built around UNIX systems, IBM System z, non-IBM clusters, SAP solutions, 3270 screens, IMS-DL/I databases, and specific code. SOA was the right solution to connect this existing environment to new components using Java, Web services, and DB2 in particular. This book explores the business needs and the architectural choices that were faced by t

The Patterns for e-business are a group of proven, reusable assets that can be used to increase the speed of developing and deploying e-business applications. This IBM Redbooks publication focuses on the use of the WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus and WebSphere Message Broker together to form an enterprise service bus (ESB) implemented in a service-oriented architecture (SOA). This book discusses patterns for integrating WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus and WebSphere Message Broker and includes a scenario to help you design, develop, and deploy these products. This book is designed to assist customers that are approaching the use of both advanced and basic ESB products from typically messaging and J2EE worlds, but are not quite sure when each is appropriate.

Over years, the typical IT infrastructure grows and is very likely a collection of separated, heterogeneous environments that can collide with today's requirement for companies to react quickly to changing business needs. This changing environment demands a middleware that is both robust and extensible as well as flexible when reacting to change. With WebSphere Middleware products from IBM you can operate flexible service-oriented architectures that overcome these integration challenges. The IBM WebSphere Service-Oriented Middleware product suite includes different integration brokers and a multitude of application and technology adapters. In addition to the adapter-based integration approach, this product suite supports a wide range of open standards to connect any back-end component in a service-like manner to the middleware infrastructure. This book highlights broker-to-broker connectivity to the SAP Exchange Infrastructure as well as direct communication patterns to the SAP WebApplication Server. This book also illustrates how to integrate data and processes that are located in SAP back-end systems that use IBM Service-Oriented Middleware technology. The adapter-based scenarios use the WebSphere adapters for SAP, and the standards-based integration scenarios use the Web Services and Java Message Service capabilities that are built in to the products of both IBM and SAP.

WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere ESB are highly available and scalable products for running enterprise-level SOA solutions. But does every production topology that uses these products follow the same basic pattern? This book answers that question by providing guidance on how to select and build production topologies based on the applications that you deploy to that topology. It also helps you to discern which production topology is suitable for your environment and provides step-by-step guidance on how to build that topology. The intended audience of this book is IT architects and administrators. Part one of the book introduces some of the basic concepts and discusses three types of production topologies for WebSphere ESB and for WebSphere Process Server. It provides guidance on how to select the appropriate topology, discusses security considerations, and introduces the sample scenarios that we built for this book. Part two focuses on building production topologies for WebSphere ESB. Using sample applications, this part provides step-by-step instructions for building WebSphere ESB V6.0.2 production topologies. Part three uses a similar format but focuses on production topologies for WebSphere Process Server V6.0.2. This part includes step-by-step instructions on how to build a full support production topology that implements security.
