21. (Web) Service
• Specific Product or Action
• Implementation Independent
• Invoked by means of service requests (SOAP requests)
• request for information (returns a response containing information)
• request for action (triggers actions, e.g. book trip, claim)
• Predefined interface (contract, SLA, WSDL)
• request format
• response format
• Public or private

22. Service Interface

23. The Power of Services
• Separation of Concerns
• Combination of Services
• Ability to exchange Services
• Platform independency
• Improve and Extend (don’t rip and replace existing IT investments)
Service consumer,
e.g. a Process
(Composite)
Services = web service
(Basic)
Services
systems
existing new

24. SOA Layers - hierarchical dependencies
Rich-Client User Interface • Service based UIs
• Business Processes can be exposed as Web Services
Business Processes Services •Activities within the Process use services
• Composite Business Object with its Services
• Combination of several basic services provides a business
Composite Services level service
• Usually directly applicable in a business process or end-user UI
• Web Services exposed by applications, directly or through
Basic Services a connector
• Direct (one-on-one) representation of methods in applications
•Applications, Databases, Files
• Mainframe and Legacy Systems
Applications
• J2EE and .Net Application Servers
• B2B Trading Partners
