SOA enhancements through XML Networking

From Computing and Software Wiki

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) enhancements through eXtensible Markup Language (XML) Network has been very discussed topic in the last few years. The performance and scalability of current SOA models are not sufficient to satisfy the increasing business demand of today's world. [1] the This wiki discusses the approaches that can be taken to accelerate this service-sharing process by expanding the use of XML technologies throughout the middleware of the SOA framekwork. [2]

SOA Overview

SOA provides a framework for sharing services across a network (such as the internet). Each of these services represent a group of objects and resources that are combined to provide a tool for business applications. [1]

Current Solutions

WSDL

SOAP

RPC

Enhancements through XML Networking

Overview of Technologies

XSD

The XML Schema Technology is a W3C Standard that specifies the rules and structure of the related instances. Its initial design was to replace Document Type Definition (DTD), allowing for more complex internal structures. [1]

XSLT

XPath

XQuery

XML Encryption
