  1. SO-Architectural Roadmap B. Ramamurthy

  2. Review • In Chapter 4 we discussed • Definitions of SOA by experts in the field • Our own simple definition of an SOA • types of services • In this llecture we will discuss • Details of the various types of services • Architecting an SOA (stages) • Entry points to SOA design • Chapters 5 and 6

  3. Basic / horizontal Services • Fundamental services • Maintain no conversational state • Data-centric services: • Encapsulates business data • purpose of data centric services is to handle persistent data typically stored in an Enterprise Information System (EIS). • An EIS could be a simple data base or integrated data base from several sources. • A file system relational data base or a object relational mapping, data access objects and layering: all these fall under this category. • For example, “store” operation from a user web service could invoke a data-centric service that stores the data in the “resource” defined in the operational environment. • What is a resource in this context? • A data stream, relational DB data source, a data queue • A “store” on a business object (BO) may results many physical writes to (one or more distributed) data bases. Data-centric service takes care of this.

  4. Horizontal services • Logic centric services • Encapsulate algorithms for complex calculations or business rules. • Consider the example of Insurance Product Engine (fig.5.3) (For example: Geico or Progressive Insurance) • We will discuss three alternative approaches to providing this function and why services-based one is advantageous. (pp.72-74)

  6. Intermediary Services • Stateless services that bridge the technological inconsistencies and design gaps in an architecture. • Gateways, adapters, facades, and functionality adding services

  7. Frontend Service Technology A Technology gateway service Technology A Tech Gateway Technology B Technology B Basic Service

  8. Application 1 Application 2 Application 3 Façade Intermediary Service Facade Basic service 1 Basic service 2 Basic service 3

  9. Process centric services • Process centric services can encapsulate the knowledge of the organization’s business processes. • Stateful: they contain and maintain state • These are project-specific • Requires careful design satisfying the domain rules and business policies

  10. Process-centric service (contd.) Application Frontend Process-centric service service 1 service 2 service 3

  11. Application Frontend Process-centric service (contd.) service 1 service 2 service 3

  12. Enterprise level services • Security • Accounting • Billing • SLAs (service level agreements), service metering • We will refer to these as horizontal services, i.e., common domain-independent utility services

  13. Enterprise Services layers (fig.5.9, 5.10) Enterprise layer Process layer Intermediary layer Basic layer

  14. The architectural roadmap: The stages in development • Fundamental SOA • Design fundamental services • Networked SOA • Add intermediary services • Process-enabled SOA • Add process-centric services, front-ends • These three stages reach maturity at different rates, services gain more responsibility as the system matures. • Advantages of using service-orientation will be apparent as the stages evolve independently of each other

  15. Fundamental SOA • Excellent starting point for introduction SOA in an organization • A fundamental SOA consists of two layers: • Enterprise layer that consists of front-ends, and • The basic layers that consists of basic services

  18. Fundamental SOA: Summary • Based on which future expansion can take place • Simple to implement • Complex front-end • Increased maintainability • Shared services can make data replication largely obsolete • Good starting point/entry point to SOA

  19. Networked SOA • It deals with backend complexity in addition to technical and conceptual integration. • If offers flexibility in integrating software assets of an enterprise. • Enables loose coupling • Addition of intermediary layer with services that handle • distributed transactions, (fig.6.6) • bridge technology gaps, (fig 6.7) • database integration, (fig 6.9) • Add new functionality, (fig 6.10) • Wrap legacy applications/service (fig.6.10)

  21. Process-enabled SOA • The key feature is the maintenance of a process state in process-centric services. • Stateful services (server-side state) • Encapsulates complexity of processes (Ex: runExperiment in a complex scientific lab experiment) • Possibility of sharing states between clients (Ex: research whiteboard) • Handling long-living processes (Ex: auction framework) • Enables the IT and business alignment

  25. Process-enabled SOA summary • Enables light-weight frontends (handles only user interaction) • Encapsulates complexities of business processes • Abstracts complexities of backend systems • Enables separation of business logic from technology complexities • Is required for integration of independent organizations and implementation of complex processes
