SOAP launched the Web services revolution, and the new generation of SOAP-based frameworks are finally delivering on the potential of SOAP extensions to support security, reliable messaging, transactions, and more - features that can be crucial to SOA. Yet an increasing number of developers are becoming disenchanted with the complexity and overhead of SOAP frameworks and are choosing easier alternatives, generally in the form of services based on Plain Old XML (POX) message exchange over a variety of protocols.
In this presentation you'll see how POX-based services can provide the same functionality as the latest SOAP extensions, and even support inter operation with SOAP through adapters. Wash the SOAP out of your eyes and you'll learn to look at Web services from an entirely new perspective.
Dennis Sosnoski is an internationally recognized expert on SOA and Web services in Java. He's been helping organizations worldwide with their XML and Web services projects for the last 8 years, with a particular focus on solving performance issues. XML and Web services are at the core of most views of SOA, and for the last two years Dennis has been advising companies on how to best align their development efforts with the SOA approach. He's also active in the Java community, as a frequent speaker at conferences world-wide, a writer for IBM developer Works Java and SOA/Web services zones, a member of the expert groups that guided the development of the JAXB 2.0 and JAX-WS 2.0 Java standards, and an open source developer on both Apache Web services and independent projects (including his JiBX XML data binding framework for Java).
ServiceMix— Apache ServiceMix is an Open Source ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) that combines the functionality of a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and an Event Driven Architecture (EDA) to create an agile, enterprise ESB.
Solving the SOA Paradox through Application Performance Monitoring— Enterprises are deploying SOAs to gain business flexibility and efficiency. However when it comes to ensuring superior performance this approach and the technologies that underpin it, pose special management challenges. The loose coupling of services offers clear benefits - such as better alignment between business and IT; however, the complexities of service-orientation bring hidden performance risks. SOAs are simply the next generation of composite web applications, which CA Wily has been managing for over 9 years. They do have specific management challenges, but these must be considered in the context of the whole web application infrastructure through which Web services transactions flow.
Master Data Management and SOA— This session will let you discover what Master Data Management is all about and how it can be concretely implemented. You will understand the added value of Master Data Management in a Service oriented Architecture.
Mule 2 and Beyond— Mule is one of the leading open source ESB and integration framework. It's focus has always been on the developer with the aim of simplifying the difficult task of implementing an integration or SOA project. The focus Mule 2.0 is to make things even easier, more powerful even more robust. This talk will pivot on some of the new features of Mule.
SoapUI— soapUI is the premiere open-source web service testing tool with over 30.000 users worldwide. This hands-on walk-through will show you how to supercharge your web service development and testing efforts:
