A Brief Introduction to SOA

Service Oriented Architecture

An architectural pattern for modular applications

It’s not technology specific

SOA provides application building blocks called Services

Services should be loosely coupled, self contained and independent

Flexible, standardized, reusable

Business Oriented

Not OO


A Brief Introduction to SOA

Taking a SOA approach can provide benefits Build applications with less code

Reusable common set of components

Supports incremental adoption

Smaller development teams

Easier training

Cleaner separation of concerns

Ultimately – cost savings


Tools for SOA

SOA by itself is an architecture style and technology neutral

SOA networks may be described, implemented and deployed using a range of technologies

SCA, JBI, CORBA, Web Services BPEL, Java, C++, Dynamic Languages

There are a lot of discrete tools that deal with each of these implementation approaches

However most of them derive from OO concepts and techniques (SO is more abstract than OO)


Why the SOA Tools Platform?

Unify developer tooling for SOA based applications Provide a consistent and extensible set of tools for:

Developers who need to build, deploy and maintain services

Architects tasked with assembling an SOA Infrastructure

Administrators maintaining, monitoring, or policing SOA based systems

Business analysts recording business processes


STP Project Mission Statement

The mission of the SOA Tools Platform project is to build frameworks and exemplary extensible tools that enable the design, configuration, assembly, deployment, monitoring, and management of software designed around a Service Oriented Architecture

STP Service Creation

Frameworks and extensions for editors to create STP services Contract Editors

Service editors (create services that can be deployed on supported runtimes)

Resource creation Wizards

Component Type editors

Binding Editors / Policy

Service Discovery tools


QuickTime™ and aTIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor

Europa Release

JAX-WS code-first service development

WSDL-first JAX-WS service development

SCA Java Service development



XML editor SCDL support

Online Help

Many bug fixes

Building technical documentation, tutorials





Java Annotation View Helper

Java Annotation Validator

JAX-WS Runtime Provider

SC Java Runtime Provider

BPMN Diagram Annotation Decorator







Java 5 Annotation Helper Extension Point Add an extension here if you wish to drive the annotations view

Used for JAX-WS and SCA Java service creation Useful for other approaches too, e.g. REST markup like JSR 311





Java annotation validation rules framework

Validation rules drive markers in the source view





Multiple rule sets may be configured and viewed in prefs



SCA and JAX-WS Runtimes are pluggable Right now we test against Apache Tuscany and Apache CXF

Use these extension points to switch to RI, or others

STP BPMN Editor

Business Process Modeling is an activity performed by business analysts within an organization

These analysts use modeling tools to depict both the current state of an enterprise and the desired future state

The relationships of a business process in the context of the rest of the enterprise create greater capabilities in analyzing and planning a change


STP BPMN Editor

Business Process Modeling Notation is a standardized graphical notation for drawing business processes in a workflow

Framework for BPMN diagram based editors

Exemplary implementation of BPMN editor


BPMN Diagram Annotation Decorator

Updates the BPMN diagram with decorations on the nodes

Covered in online tutorial at
