Web Services Specifications and SOA Interoperability

http://opensource.sys-con.com/read/314083.htm

Interoperability is an important factor in the success of solutions that are based on Web Services and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), along with other key factors such as contracts, loose coupling, and reuse. Interoperability is generally accomplished by developing your Web Services using the well-established guidelines for implementing Web Services and by following industry standards such as XML, WSDL, SOAP, and UDDI. However, just following Web Services standards and guidelines during the development phase of a project isn't sufficient to achieve interoperability.

On the relationship between Web Services Security and traditional protocols

http://web.comlab.ox.ac.uk/oucl/work/bill.roscoe/publications/104.pdf

[May 2, 2005] XML and Web Services security specifications define elements to incorporate security tokens within a SOAP message. We propose a method for mapping such messages to an abstract syntax in the style of Dolev-Yao, and in particular Casper notation. We show that this translation preserves flaws and attacks. Therefore we provide a way for all the methods, and specifically Casper and FDR, that have been developed in the last decade by the theoretical community for the analysis of cryptographic protocols to be used for analysing WS-Security protocols. Finally, we demonstrate how this technique can be used to prove properties and discover attacks upon a proposed Microsoft WS-SecureConversation protocol.

Web Services Specs Meet Open Source

BPEL - Integration's White Knight or White Elephant?

http://www.webservices.org/index.php/ws/content/view/full/51694

The world suddenly seems full of BPEL announcements from application server vendors, EAI vendors and ESB vendors. After all, the BPEL standard enables the automation of business processes – and we all want to do that. But as with everything in life, the key to getting to best out of BPEL is identifying what it does well and using it in moderation. Ronan Bradley, 10 Jan, 2005

Business Flows with BPEL4WS

http://www.sys-con.com/WebServices/articlenews.cfm?id=572

Doron Sherman, CTO of Collaxa, "BPEL4WS is now moving rapidly into becoming the de facto standard for Web service orchestration with most platform vendors following in IBM and Microsoft footsteps after the submission of the specification to OASIS. This increased momentum and visibility will drive a great need for educating developers on how to put BPEL to work."

Web Services Transaction (WS-Transaction)

http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/ws-transpec/

This specification describes coordination types that are used with the extensible coordination framework described in the WS-Coordination specification. It defines two coordination types: Atomic Transaction (AT) and Business Activity (BA). Developers can use either or both of these coordination types when building applications that require consistent agreement on the outcome of distributed activities.

Business Process Execution Language for Web Services version 1.1

http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-bpel/

BPEL4WS provides a language for the formal specification of business processes and business interaction protocols. By doing so, it extends the Web Services interaction model and enables it to support business transactions. BPEL4WS defines an interoperable integration model that should facilitate the expansion of automated process integration in both the intra-corporate and the business-to-business spaces.
