Xml Design and Implementation

May 2, 2010 by BPELforum

Product Description
XML is a mark up language which allows you to define your own tags, and to define data rather than format it. The overall concepts of XML are quite well understood but there is little information available about issues of developing applications using XML. By considering the decisions to be made at various stages of the project, it will help readers understand the various aspects of XML and its related technologies. It will stress the benefits of XML in informational systems, where it can be used to separate content from presentation, and in transactional systems, where it can act as a low-cost alternative to EDI protocols. Amazon.com Review
In Professional XML Design and Implementation, author Paul Spencer teaches readers XML through a combination of traditional tutorial and practical applications. Aimed at HTML coders, this book covers Extensible Markup Language (XML) implementation using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 and Active Server Pages.

Spencer organizes his book into two distinct parts, with the whole of the book revolving around Centaur–a complete, real-world application that helps users book travel packages using online tour agent and booking systems. XML is the glue between Centaur and external, online travel-related systems.

In the tutorial, the author starts with the Document Object Model (DOM), including the W3C Level 1 DOM, as well as Microsoft’s extensions. He uses frequent code snippets to illustrate all of the key elements. Next comes a discussion of how to render XML code in a browser; Spencer talks about how you can do it using cascading style sheets, the DOM, and ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) databinding. A chapter on XSL–the Extensible Stylesheet Language–follows and includes information on how you can use XSL to convert XML formats to other XML formats or to HTML.

Eventually, Spencer guides you through the creation of Centaur in a methodical manner that helps you put XML in perspective and learn valuable techniques. Nine appendices include the XML 1.0 specification and several other key references. This book offers a well-grounded look at XML and its possibilities. –Stephen W. Plain

SOA and Web Services Interface Design: Principles, Techniques, and Standards

April 29, 2010 by BPELforum

Product Description
With the introduction of increasingly complex Web services over the last decade, there has been an explosion of interest in service-oriented architecture (SOA), a structural style whose goal is to achieve a coupling of interacting services – functionalities such as filling out an online application for an account, viewing an online bank statement, or placing an online booking or airline ticket order. These services operate through specific interfaces that control and define their operation. However, due to the evolving nature of enterprises, new services and applications must often be incorporated into these same interfaces. Such incorporation can be costly and complex if the original interface is inflexible or incompatible with the technology utilized by the new applications.

In his new book, data architecture guru James Bean teaches you exactly how to design web service interfaces that are capable of being extended to accommodate ever changing business needs and promote incorporation simplicity. The book first provides an overview of critical SOA principles, thereby offering a basic conceptual summary. The book then provides explicit, tactical, and real-world techniques for ensuring compliance with these principles. Using a focused, tutorial-based approach the book provides working syntactical examples – described by Web services standards such as XML, XML Schemas, WSDL and SOAP – that can be used to directly implement interface design procedures, thus allowing you immediately generate value from your efforts. In summary, SOA and Web Services Interface Design provides the basic theory, but also design techniques and very specific implementable encoded interface examples that can be immediately employed in your work, making it an invaluable practical guide to any practitioner in today’s exploding Web-based service market.

Provides chapters on topics of introductory WSDL syntax and XML Schema syntax, taking take the reader through fundamental concepts and into deeper techniques and allowing them to quickly climb the learning curve.

Provides working syntactical examples – described by Web services standards such as XML, XML Schemas, WSDL and SOAP – that can be used to directly implement interface design procedures.

Real-world examples generated using the Altova XML Spy tooling reinforce applicability, allowing you to immediately generate value from their efforts.

A companion website with all artwork and code examples accompanies the book.

Praise for Service-Oriented Modeling

Service Analysis, Design, and Architecture

“Michael Bell has done it again with a book that will be remembered as a key facilitator of the global shift to Service-Oriented Architecture. . . . With this book, Michael Bell provides that foundation and more-an essential bible for the next generation of enterprise IT.”
-Eric Pulier, Executive Chairman, SOA Software

-Mike Zbranak, CIO, Chase Card Services

“This book will become an imperative business and technology service-oriented modeling recipe for any manager, architect, modeler, analyst, and developer in today’s software development industry.”
-Jeff Schneider, CEO, MomentumSI

“‘Innovative’ and ‘groundbreaking’ are words that best describe Michael Bell’s Service-Oriented Modeling. It depicts a true service modeling approach that elegantly closes a clear and critical service modeling gap in the SOA industry. This holistic book ties these concepts together using real-world examples across a service life cycle that transitions services from ideas and concepts into production assets that deliver business value. A must-read for business and technical SOA practitioners.”
-Eric A. Marks, CEO, AgilePath Corporation
