Author Boris Lublinski provides an overview of three programming models attempt to go beyond just service invocations by seamlessly incorporating service orchestration support and many of the patterns required for successful SOA implementation. They also serve as a foundation for implementation of the Enterprise Service Bus.
The three models covered in the article are:
- Windows Communication Foundation (Indigo) programming Model from Microsoft, which attempts to simplify service programming by creating a unified OO model for all service artifacts.
- Java Business Integration (JBI) model from Java Community Process, which address complexities and variabilities of services programming through creation of services abstraction layer in a form of a specialized (service) container.
- Service Components Architecture (SCA) from IBM, BEA, IONA, Oracle, SAP, Siebel, Sybase, etc., is based on the premise that a "well-constructed component based architecture with well-defined interfaces and clear-cut component responsibilities can quite justifiable be considered as an SOA" 4.
These programming models attempt to go beyond just service invocations by seamlessly incorporating service orchestration support and many of the patterns required for successful SOA implementation. They also serve as a foundation for implementation of the Enterprise Service Bus. The article will give a brief overview of each of these programming models.
