No subscriber list for the "polling" solution is not completely accurate. by Bediako George Posted May 5, 2009 1:02 PM
Re: No subscriber list for the by Dominique JOCAL Posted May 15, 2009 9:57 AM
  1. Although a subscriber list is not explicitly maintained for the poll solution, enterprise security considerations will force you to create a list of allowed consumers. Of course, authentication and authorization of those consumers must also occur. The end result, for all intents and purposes, is a subscriber list.

    This does not in any way take away from the greater point the presenter makes which is that the "consumer poll" approach is fundamentally different from the "enterprise service bus" approach, and in many cases represents a simple, efficient, and cost effective alternative.

    At Lucid, we have created an open source processing framework call Hannibal that promotes many of the values addressed in this presentation. If you are interested feel free to download it here:

    even without security issues, the end result is always a list; the interesting point is to find a way to delegate it.
    Maybe you can also delegate security stuff also to other components:
    - putting applications in a secured area, so they can trust each other through anonymous calls;
    - or connecting applications to a common security system managing application identities and roles, and simply requiring a given role at the publisher level.

Brian Marick takes us through a quick tour of the most important values and challenges to adopting Agile successfully (they aren't the typical challenges and values we hear in the community).

Are You a Software Architect?

Agile – A Way of Life and Pragmatic Use of Authority

Using ITIL V3 as a Foundation for SOA Governance

Those familiar with only ITIL V2 often scoff at the thought that ITIL could serve as a governance framework for SOA. With ITIL V3, the focus of the framework shifted towards service-orientation.

SOA as an Architectural Pattern: Best Practices in Software Architecture
