Goal

Visualizing and developingComposite Applications using SOA and Java EE

Agenda

• Composite Applications• Services and SOA• Java EE Services• BPEL in the Mix• Recap• Demo

Applications• Developers need to build end-to-end applications

> Front-end user interfaces> Middle-tier business logic> Back-end resources

• With the right approach, developers can...> Reuse existing parts> Build new parts> Glue old and new parts together

• With the wrong approach, developers must...> Reimplement functionality existing elsewhere> Spend massive effort to evolve applications

Applications• Real-world applications are...

> Web applications> Java EE applications> Swing forms> Web services> BPEL processes> SOA> JBI> RDBMSs> (your favorite technology)

• Real-world applications use many or all of these

Applications• Traditional model of application development

> Point technologies, products, and APIs> For example: EJB, Spring, Hibernate, JSF, Servlets, Struts, etc.

> Lots of glue written by developers> Requires a great deal of expertise & time> Inflexible

• Inflexibility of IT Infrastructure• Complexity of

Integration Projects• Integration Costs• Time to Market• Limited Partnering Flexibility• Limitations of EDI

Composite Applications• A way to compose applications from reusable parts• Comprised of heterogeneous parts

> Some existing parts> Some new parts> Some glue to connect these parts

• Composite applications are Applications!> Composite applications != SOA

• Composite applications employ SOA principles> Features exposed as Web services> Standards-based interaction between services> Are themselves composable

Agenda

• Composite Applications• Services and SOA• Java EE Services• BPEL in the Mix• Recap• Demo

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)• An architectural principle for structuring systems

into coarse-grained services• Technology-neutral best practice• Emphasizes the loose coupling of services• New services are created from existing ones

in a synergistic fashion• Strong service definitions are critical• Services can be re-composed when business

requirements change

Business-IT Context for SOA• Creating an IT environment to support continuous business optimization

• Structures your IT applications in line with your business processes– Speeds business change– Facilitates business connections– Enchances business control

• Heavy focus on flexible interconnections with carefully managed qualities of service (QoS)

SOA and Web Services• Web services are most people's first and only exposure to SOA

• Only one manner of service access– Message-oriented middleware (MOM)– CORBA, RMI, DCOM, raw sockets, Email etc.

• SOA architectures tend to be best implemented using web services as the middleware technology

Why Services?• SOA = an architectural principle for

structuring systems• SOA emphasizes the de-coupling of system

components• New services are created from existing

ones in a synergistic fashion• Strong service definitions are critical• Services can be subsequently re-composed

in response to changing business requirements

What Are Services?• Black-box components with well-defined interfaces

> Performs some arbitrary function> Can be implemented in myriad ways

• Accessed using XML message exchanges> Using well-known message exchange patterns (MEPs)

• Services are self-describing• Metadata in the form of WSDL describes...

> Abstract interfaces > Concrete endpoints

What Does a Service Do?

• Transform data• Route messages• Query databases• Orchestrate conversations• Apply business logic• Apply business policy• Handle business exceptions• Solicit approvals• …

How Are Services Implemented?• Enterprise JavaBeans™ (EJB™) technology• BPEL• XSLT • SQL• Business rules• Mainframe transaction• EDI transform• Humans (yes, really!)• …

SOA

The 4Ps to achieve SOA

Why SOA?We’re not building new, “green field” applications anymore

• We buy applications whenever possible.• And, we leverage these new applications along with our

existing inventory of application and data “assets”.• These are Composite Applications

A composite application is a collection of existing applications and data stores, as well as new business logic, that is orchestrated together to create a solution to a business problem that none alone can solve.

An SOA can deliver the benefits of Functional DecompositionFunctional decomposition defines a system in which each component is described in terms of its own, independent functionality.

A side effect is that the interfaces between components are well-defined ahead of the implementation of those components.

When a system is composed of components with discrete functionality and well-defined interfaces, each specific implementation of a component becomes readily interchangeable with other implementations of that component.

Consider a bicycle. You can buy components from different vendors and these components can all be bolted together to create a bicycle that fits your unique set of requirements and preferences.

Benefits of SOA• Flexible (Agile) IT

> Adaptable to changing business needs • Faster time to market

> Reuse existing code> Minimize new development

• Business- and process-driven> Enables new business opportunities

• Greater ROI > Leverage existing IT assets

Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) • A set of coordinated technologies and practices

that enable solutions for developing, deploying, and managing multi-tier, server-centric applications. Building on Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE), Java EE adds the capabilities that provide a complete, stable, secure, and fast Java platform for the enterprise. Java EE significantly reduces the cost and complexity of developing and deploying multi-tier solutions, resulting in services that can be rapidly deployed and easily enhanced.

Java EE 5 Overview• Key development features

> EJB 3.0> Annotated “plain old Java object” (POJO) Web services> Powerful Java Persistence API (JPA) for O-R mapping> JAX-WS 2.0 and JAXB 2.0> Samples and blueprints

• Open ESB Starter Kit> Java Business Integration (JBI) runtime> BPEL service engine> SOAP-over-HTTP binding component

• Sun Java System Application Server 9 PE (Glassfish)

Java EE Services• Use EJB 3.0 to develop standards-based worker

services> Perform business logic> Access JDBC resources> Call other Web services, including BPEL processes> Transactional> Secure

• JAX-WS 2.0 and JAXB 2.0> Full support for XML Schema> Document-centric services

• Call these services from BPEL processes

EJB 3.0 Example@Stateless()@WebService()public class LoanProcessor { @WebMethod public String processApplication(..., @WebParam(name="applicantAge") int applicantAge,...) {

int MINIMUM_AGE_LIMIT = 18; int MAXIMUM_AGE_LIMIT = 65; String result = "Loan Application APPROVED." if (applicantAge < MINIMUM_AGE_LIMIT) { result = "Loan Application REJECTED - Reason: Under-aged "+applicantAge+". Age needs to be "+ over"+MINIMUM_AGE_LIMIT+" years to qualify."; return result; } ... } }

Business Processes• Any technology for implementing real-world

business processes needs to...> Coordinate asynchronous communication between

services> Correlate message exchanges between partners> Exchange messages in a universal form> Process activities in parallel> Manipulate/transform data between partners> Support long-running business transactions> Handle exceptions> Provide compensation to undo previous actions

What is BPEL?• BPEL = Business Process Execution Language

> XML-based language used to specify business processes based on Web services

> Orchestrates partner Web services• BPEL processes describe...

> Long-running, stateful, transactional conversations• BPEL is one language for implementing a service

> A BPEL service is itself a WSDL-described service> Can be used from other services or BPEL processes like

any other Web service• BPEL processes are easy to write and change

BPEL “Fixes” WSDL• WSDL describes an unordered set of operations

> Operations are grouped as interfaces> Operations are individual message exchanges

• Semantics of the interface are missing in WSDL> Order of invocation> Concurrency> Choreography with external entities

• BPEL can supply these missing semantics

Web Service Orchestration● Visually author BPEL 2.0 business processes with

the BPEL Designer● Step-through debugging support● Built-in testing capability for unit testing● “Beyond syntax” validation of Schema, WSDL, and BPEL

● BPEL Mapper● Visually create complex XPath expressions without coding

● Deploy to the built-in BPEL engine● JBI-based BPEL service engine + SOAP/HTTP bindings● Running within the bundled Sun Java System Application

Composite Applications

• A composite application combines existing packaged and legacy applications, information stores, and newly developed services into a single solution.> May look like a new application even though it may

be 10% new and 90% an assembly of existing components 

Composite Applications Benefits• Lower cost

> Less maintenance on legacy and packaged applications• Business agility

> No delay in modification of business parameters by IT• Ease of use

> Modern UI for legacy and packaged applications
