Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has quickly taken centre stage as the primary development style of the next decade and beyond. Businesses of all types are preparing for the SOA revolution that promises consistency of process, reduction in duplicate work, ease of maintenance, service reusability and broad interoperability. The Web Services Framework (WSF) is the foundation that can deliver on the promise of SOA. Attendees will learn about the components of an SOA including the core WSF standards. Novell tutorial will discuss the future of SOA-style development, including legacy system enablement, platform interoperability, open source in SOA and building composite applications that leverage SOA services using Novell exteNd. In this session, attendees will create SOA application logic that orchestrates legacy services, JBoss4 Web services and MS.Net Web services. Then they will create Web services in Novell exteNd, Eclipse and Visual Studio respectively. They will orchestrate these Web services and expose a single course, process level interface to public Web service consumers. Finally, they will create multiple service consumers in Novell exteNd and Macromedia Flash.
