This is the first book on practical approach to Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) using BEA AquaLogic Service Bus tool and is the first definitive book on AquaLogic by BEA Systems’ AquaLogic product lead. The author cuts through the theory and demonstrates how to successfully use the product in practice where SOA should really count. The book is targeted at professional software developers and architects that know enterprise development, but are new to enterprise service buses (ESB) and service oriented architecture (SOA) development. It provides a hands-on guide to developing SOA-driven applications with ESB as central components. It also gives strategic guidance on SOA planning, web service lifecycle management, administration of an ESB and security considerations.
