Web Services
• SOAP Based Service
JAX-RPC is a Java specification- Obsolete
JAX-WS is a Java Specification (E.g.. Apache Axis is an implementation)
WSDL
• ReSTful Web Services
Rest is an Architectural Style
Rest uses HTTP standard methods POST, GET, PUT and DELETE

Application Integration
SOA & Integration Integrate applications which are running in various locations and
various platforms. To make these applications as a single unit(Global) For extending the existing functionalities by re-using the existing
functionalities. To make the application accessible from out of network without
changing the business logic.

Message Oriented Middleware Messaging
Communication between different programs through messages. A message contains data (payload) and information about the data and the
transmission (header). • Synchronous messaging • Asynchronous messaging • Tightly coupled • Loose coupled
Queuing Messages are put on queues in storage, eliminating the need for programs to be logically connected.

MQ Message Messages consist of:
Header (MQMD) Used by Queue Manager and application to handling properties of the message
User Data The application-to-application data (“payload”)
Message Properties Destination Queue Reply Queue name Time to live (expiry) Format Correlation ID Persistence
WebSphere MQ – Client and Server
MQ Connectivity Client-To-Server Connection ( MQ Client to QM) Client to server connection establishes between MQ Client and MQ Server. Client to server connection can be between cross platforms like MQ Client installed in Windows and MQ Server installed in Linux/Solaris/AIX/HP UX etc. Server-To-Server connection ( QM to QM ) Server to server connection establishes between MQ Server and MQ Server. Server to server connection can be between cross platforms like one MQ Server installed in Windows and the other MQ Server installed in Linux/Solaris/AIX/HP UX etc. The server-to-server communication can be asynchronous and bi-directional

ESB Basics
Shyju, Sathi Raghavan
ESB
Shyju, Sathi Raghavan
An ESB is a middleware solution that enables interoperability among heterogeneous environments using a service-oriented model
For interaction and communication between mutually interacting software applications in Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)
Reducing the number, size and complexity of interfaces
Transformation, Routing & Protocol Conversion
Definition of "ESB" differs between the various vendors
Data enrichment from multiple services
Event Handling
Routing – Header based and Content based
Loosely coupling
Seamless/smooth connectivity
WebSphere Message Broker (WMB )
Shyju, Sathi Raghavan
IBM Integration Bus (WebSphere Message Broker) is an enterprise service bus (ESB) providing connectivity and universal data transformation for service-oriented architecture (SOA) and non-SOA environments
Process Server / Process Manager BPEL Engine / Service Engine
Server for executing BPEL
Process orchestration engine / Service Orchestration
Follows standards such as BPEL, XML, XSLT, XPath, JMS, JCA
Runs on top of Application server

ESB Vs. Process Server - Which should you use?
Shyju, Sathi Raghavan
If the requirement is data-centric, an ESB is the clear choice
If the requirement is process-centric, BPEL is the clear choice
• ESB is designed to be able to handle large volumes of messages
• When the requirements clearly call for message processing, an ESB is going to have several advantages
• If the requirements call for one of the basic ESB functions, such as message routing, transformation or protocol mediation, an ESB would be the clear choice.
• Should not use an ESB when state is required
• Should not include business logic in ESB
• The main strength of a BPEL engine is the ability to orchestrate business process
• Ability to handle Human Task and Business Rules
• Ability to have a long-running business process where state is maintained
• WS-BPEL can handle more complex logic including business logic.
• Should not use BPEL for handling large volume of messages
