HIGHLIGHT * Open Source SOA *shows readers how to build state-of-the-art SOA applications

using freely-available open-source technologies. DESCRIPTION You can build a world-class SOA infrastructure entirely using popular, and

mature, open-source applications. Unfortunately, the technical documentation

for most open-source projects focuses on a specific product, the big SOA picture.

You're left to your own devices to figure out how to cobble together a full

solution from the various bits. In other words, unless you already know how

Mule and Tuscany work with jBPM, you're stuck. Open Source SOA shows readers how to build an entire SOA application using

open-source technologies. It shows readers how to apply key ideas like Enterprise

Service Bus (ESB) design and Business Process Management (BPM) and learn

the tools and techniques to implement them effectively.

To pull everything together, the author describes real-life case studies from his

own work to tie together all the principles and practices. These hard-to-find case

studies are pure gold for the reader, as most developers keep these trade secrets

to themselves. KEY POINTS . Theory-what SOA really represents

. Enablers-SOA core technologies

. Open-source applications that address the core technology

. Best-of-breed open-source solutions

. Real-life case studies MARKET INFORMATION SOA is a fact of life for enterprise developers. Open source technologies have

caught up with-and in many cases, surpassed-their commercial rivals in

terms of power, ease of use, and sophistication. This book shows a Java EE developer

how to apply SOA techniques using the best-of-breed open-sources tools.
