SOA Definition

Service Oriented Architecture is:

An Application Architecture that is designed to
achieve loose coupling among interacting
software applications. SOA provides greater
flexibility in developing, integrating, and
managing Enterprise Applications
SOA Definition 2

Service-Oriented Architecture is:

An application architecture in which all functions, or
services, are defined using a description language and
have invokable interfaces that are called to perform
business processes. Each interaction is independent of
each and every other interaction and the interconnect
protocols of the communicating devices. Because
interfaces are platform-independent, a client from any
device using any operating system in any language
can use the service.
SOA Definition 3

Service-Oriented Architecture is:

A set of components which can be invoked,
and whose interface descriptions can be
published and discovered
World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
Service Definition

Service is:
A unit of work done by a service provider to
achieve desired end results for a service
consumer. Both provider and consumer are
roles played by software components

Properties of a Service

 Invokable Over a Network

 Transport Type
 Payload Format
 Interoperable
 Discovery and Lookup

Services and SOA

A service in SOA is an exposed piece of

functionality with three major properties:
 The interface contract to the service is
platform-independent.
 The service can be dynamically located and
invoked.
 The service is self-contained. That is, the
service maintains its own state.
The Service-Oriented Approach

 SOA is a design and a way of

thinking about building software
components.
– Use-Based Solely Published Contract
– Network Addressable Interface
– Stresses Interoperability
– Dynamically Discovered and Used
The Benefits of a SOA

 Better Return on Investment

 Code Mobility
 Focused Developer Roles
 More Security
 Better Testing/Fewer Defects
 Support for Multiple Client Types
The Benefits of a SOA (2)

 Service Assembly
 Better Maintainability
 More Reuse
 Better Parallelism in Development
 Better Scalability
 Higher Availability

Application Implementation and
Maintenance Costs”
- Gartner Group
Today Integration

 Point-to-Point Integration is difficult to

manage and maintain over time
 Proprietary Integration Brokers and
Messaging Solutions means customers are
‘locked in’ to vendors
 Integrating Integration products is
commonplace
 License and Consulting costs are too
prohibitive for mainstream adoption
