Fast SOA

1: A Love Affair with XML: Introduces SOA concepts, patterns, and the issues that impact scalability and performance
2: XQuery Primer: Looks at the explosion of XML schemas and its impact on performance, compatibility and flexibility
3: Solving The SOA Scalability Problem: Explains what drove the need for FastSOA architecture
4: The RSS Data Aggregator: SOA Federation and Acceleration: Explains the FastSOA architecture and the XML-centric tools needed to build it
5: SOAR: SOA Repository: Shows the testing methodology (with real world examples fully implemented) to understand SOA scalability and performance
6: The Enterprise Data Bus: Extending XQuery and SOA: Makes the case for using XML, XML Query (XQuery,) and native XML database technology to build well performing and flexible SOA
7: EDB in Action: Supply Chain (RFID,) Insurance (HL7,) US Department of Defense (NCES,) Manufacturing (UBL): Shows the tools and techniques your business needs to evaluate to be ready for SOA

Fast SOA teaches readers how to apply native XML technology to SOA.

This book discusses applications in data mediation using mid-tier data and service caching to handle the explosion of new schemas and new devices in an ever changing environment; data aggregation in the SOA middle-tier for off-line browsing, service acceleration through mid-tier caching and transformation, and bandwidth-needs reduction; increased service and application scalability and performance; successful evaluations of application server, XML parser, relational and native XML database, Enterprise Service Bus, Business Integration server, workflow server, and Web Service tools for performance, scalability, and developer productivity; improved service governance through XML persistence in SOA registries and repositories; and composite data services (CDS) to provide maximum reuse of software components and data, accelerate performance, and reduce development time and maintenance in your SOA.

This book is recommended for software and data architects, IT application developers, and IT managers who are developing the next generation of web services and service oriented architectures.
