(Web) Service

• Specific Product or Action

• Implementation Independent

• Invoked by means of service requests (SOAP requests)

• request for information (returns a response containing information)

• request for action (triggers actions, e.g. book trip, claim)

• Predefined interface (contract, SLA, WSDL)

• request format

• response format

• Public or private

Service Interface

The Power of Services

• Separation of Concerns• Combination of Services• Ability to exchange Services• Platform independency• Improve and Extend (don’t rip and replace existing IT investments)

Rich-Client User Interface

Business Processes Services

• Service based UIs

• Business Processes can be exposed as Web Services

• Activities within the Process use services

• Composite Business Object with its Services

• Combination of several basic services provides a business

level service

• Usually directly applicable in a business process or end-user UI

• Web Services exposed by applications, directly or through

a connector

• Direct (one-on-one) representation of methods in applications

• Applications, Databases, Files

• Mainframe and Legacy Systems

• J2EE and .Net Application Servers
