XML for Data Architects: Designing for Reuse and Integration

April 30, 2010 by BPELforum

Product Description
“The book addresses a sorely missing set of considerations in the real world… This is a very timely book.”
-Peter Herzum, author of Business Component Factory and CEO of Herzum Software

XML is a tremendous enabler for platform agnostic data and metadata exchanges. However, there are no clear processes and techniques specifically focused on the engineering of XML structures to support reuse and integration simplicity, which are of particular importance in the age of application integration and Web services. This book describes the challenges of using XML in a manner that promotes simplification of integration, and a high degree of schema reuse. It also describes the syntactical capabilities of XML and XML Schemas, and the similarities (and in some cases limitations) of XML DTDs. This book presents combinations of architectural and design approaches to using XML as well as numerous syntactical and working examples.

* Designed to be read three different ways: skim the margin notes for quick information, or use tables in the appendix to locate sections relevant the to a particular issue, or read cover-to-cover for the in-depth treatment.
* Contains numerous tables that describe datatypes supported by the most common DBMSs and map to XML Schema supported data types.
* Unique focus on the value added role and processes of the data architect as they apply to enterprise use of XML.

BPEL 100 Success Secrets – Business Process Execution Language for Web Services- THE XML-based language for the formal specification of business processes, … protocols and SOA based integration

April 28, 2010 by BPELforum

Product Description
Excellent introduction to BPEL – the business process execution language. A number of Web services orchestration / process tools are based on BPEL but hide the language behind a drag-and-drop GUI. To effectively use these tools, though, you have to understand the concepts that make up BPEL – scopes, partner links, correlation sets etc. This book likely provides the best introduction to these concepts. Examples are given in raw BPEL as well as using Oracle BPEL Manager and Microsoft BizTalk. There is coverage of advanced topics, such as correlation and convoys, a great introduction to BPEL best practices. In summary, if you are interested specifically in BPEL, this is likely the book you want to get.

SOA Cookbook: Master SOA process architecture, modeling, and simulation in BPEL, TIBCO’s BusinessWorks, and BEA’s Weblogic Integration

April 28, 2010 by BPELforum

Product Description
In Detail

SOA Cookbook covers process-oriented SOA. BPEL is the best-known language in this area, and this book presents numerous BPEL examples. It also studies proprietary vendor process languages such as TIBCO’s BusinessWorks and BEA’s Weblogic Integration. If you are building SOA processes in the field, chances are you are using one of the languages discussed in SOA Cookbook. The book assumes that the reader is comfortable with XML and web services.

Author Michael Havey works with SOA in the field for TIBCO (and previously for IBM, BEA, and Chordiant). SOA Cookbook is Michael’s second book. Essential Business Process Modeling, his first book, was published in 2005.

What you will learn from this book?

Document a process-based SOA architecture using “enhanced 4+1″, ARIS, SCA, UML, and BPMN
Learn by example how to separate BPM and SOA processes
Model choreography and orchestration in BPMN and BPEL
Divide a process that involves both manual and automated activities between BPM and SOA
Manage state in short- and long-running processes
Model processes intelligently using three variants of a structured “flat form” approach: event-based, state-based, and flow-based
Develop dynamic processes to manage the “change problem”: problems that arise when you need to change the definition of a process that has live cases in production
Simulate SOA processes using concepts from discrete event simulation and the Poisson process
Measure the complexity of SOA processes

Approach

As a cookbook, this book can be regarded as a set of gourmet recipes for SOA. Each of the eight chapters that follow the introductory chapter covers an important concept in process-based SOA and teaches techniques to build solutions based on the concept. Working examples are developed in BPEL, TIBCO’s BusinessWorks and BEA’s Weblogic Integration.

Who this book is written for?

The book is intended for hands-on SOA architects, designers, and developers who want to learn techniques in process orchestration. Many of these readers use, or will soon start using, languages such as BPEL, TIBCO’s BusinessWorks, or BEA’s Weblogic Integration in their projects.

This intermediate-level book assumes that the reader is comfortable reading XML and knows the basic concepts of web services. The book presents several BPEL and BPMN examples, but it explains specific language constructs on the fly; the reader need not have background in these languages.
