Summary

Transform existing software applications to SOA-based systems Written by a senior IT architect from IBM, this is a practical guide to implementing Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) within the enterprise. It is the first book to clearly explain the rationale for using SOA in enterprise integration, and the only book that explicitly explains the various options that are available for integrating mainframe applications, as well as packaged applications such as SAP, Oracle, and IBM. SOA-based Enterprise Integration is the first book to detail in a practical manner how to use Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) within an integration scenario. Auxiliary services and the tools that are available to develop, deploy and manage SOA-based integration are also covered. .
