1 Best Practices for Designing and Building the Services of an SOA Guido Schmutz Technology Manager, Oracle ACE Director for FMW & SOA Trivadis AG, Switzerland

2 Abstract This session will present best practices for designing and building the services of an SOA. Different ways of implementing services in different environments and languages are presented and the pros and cons of each approach will be discussed. The session will cover how to ensure service versioning, why contract-first is the preferred approach, and under which circumstances a contract-last approach might be valid and useful.

10 Contract-First Web Service Design Important for serviceorientation is the standardizing and decoupling of the technical contract of each service Service-oriented design therefore should be based on a contract first approach avoid the use of autogeneration tools Source: Thomas Erl, Principles of Service Design

11 Contract-First is fine.. But isn t it just too hard to get? Most SOA platforms do not make a contract-first service design easy Creation of WSDL and XSD is too much effort There is build-in support in the IDE to graphically implement WSDL and XSD Platform specific, no standard for look-and-feel

12 I like Contract First design, BUT Lot of repetition Very talkative More options than (often) necessary => RPC/literal How to ensure Design guidelines WS-I compliance Asynchronous Interface Service versioning Ensure naming conventions Name of messages Name of port types Name of bindings <wsdl:definitions xmlns:tns=" name="creditcardvalidation-v1"> <wsdl:types> <xsd:schema...> </wsdl:types> <wsdl:message name="validatecardrequest"> <xs:schema xmlns:xs=..." xmlns:tns=" targetnamespace= elementformdefault="qualified" attributeformdefault="unqualified" version="1.0"> <wsdl:part name="request" <xs:element name="creditcard" type="tns:creditcardt"/> element="tns:validatecreditcardpaymentrequest"/> <xs:complextype name="creditcardt"> </wsdl:message> <xs:sequence> <wsdl:message name="validatecardresponse"> <xs:element name="creditcardkind" <wsdl:part name="reply" type="tns:creditcardkindt"/> element="tns:validatecreditcardpaymentresponse"/> <xs:element name="cardnumber" type="xs:string"/> </wsdl:message> <xs:element name="cardholderfirstname" <wsdl:message name="invalidcreditcardnumberfault"> type="xs:string" minoccurs="0"/> <wsdl:part name="error <xs:element name="cardholderlastname" type="xs:string"/> element="tns:invalidcreditcardnumberfault"/> <xs:element name="expirationmonth" </wsdl:message> type="tns:montht"/> <wsdl:porttype name="creditcardvalidationpt"> <xs:element name="expirationyear" <wsdl:operation name="validatecard"> type="tns:yeart"/> <wsdl:input message="tns:validatecardrequest"/> </xs:sequence> <wsdl:output message="tns:validatecardresponse"/> <xs:attribute name="id" type="xs:int"/> <wsdl:fault name="invalidcreditcardnumberfault" </xs:complextype> message="tns:invalidcreditcardnumberfault"/> <xs:simpletype name="creditcardkindt"> </wsdl:operation> </wsdl:porttype> <wsdl:binding...> <wsdl:service...> </wsdl:definitions> <xs:restriction base="xs:string"> <xs:enumeration value="visa"/> <xs:enumeration value="mastercard"/> <xs:enumeration value="amexco"/> </xs:restriction> </xs:simpletype>... /xs:schema>

16 Domain Specific Language (DSL) A Domain Specific Language (DSL) is A small programming language, which focuses on a particular domain The right tool for the right job The opposite is a General Purpose Language (GPL) A language such as Java or C# A general purpose modeling language such as UML A DSL can be a visual diagramming, programatic abstractions or textual languages Text based DSL are more and more common Examples of existing DSL s SQL, Ant, XML, BPEL, BPMN Define you own custom DSL according to the problem Service interface in our case

20 Message Exchange Patterns (MEP) There are four basic message exchange patterns (MEPs) used in Web services Notification Application Web Service Request/Response Solicit Response One-Way Application One-Way - A message comes to the service and the service produces nothing in response (Fire-and-Forget). Request/Response - A message comes to the service, and the service produces a message in response (main program & subroutine architecture style). Solicit Response - The service sends a message and gets a response back (Reverse Request / Response). Notification - The service sends a message and receives nothing in response (Broadcast, Publish-Subscribe) Solicit Response and Notification are not supported by the WS-I Basic Profile

26 What type of applications do we find today? a) PL/SQL in the database holds logic b) Java holds business logic, data access is implemented in PL/SQL c) Java holds business logic and data access (JDBC or O/R Mapper), no PL/SQL in database Application A Application B Application C Business Logic PL/SQL Java Java Data Access PL/SQL PL/SQL ORM Storage Tables Tables Tables

27 PL/SQL Implementation of Use Case PL/SQL Package specification Object types

28 Java Implementation for Use Case Customer Service Interface in Java Customer and Address DTO

37 OSB and DB Adapter for requestdriven access to information Problem Want to directly access data from DB of an existing Java application Solution Use the DB Adapter on the OSB to implement CRUD DB operations Provide it as a contract-first SOAP web service on OSB SQL

40 OSB HTTP Transport to wrap JAX-WS service Problem Want to offer a contract-first SOAP-based Web Service to consumers and not the JAX-WS service Solution Use OSB HTTP Transport to wrap the JAX-WS Code-First service Provide it as a contract-first SOAP web service on OSB Transform from/to canonical model SOAP Webservice

41 OSB HTTP Transport to wrap JAX- WS Code First service Proxy Service Business Service HTTP Transport XQuery Transformation Transformation

42 OSB EJB Transport to call EJB Problem Want to use an EJB session bean directly without having to service enable it first Solution Use OSB EJB Transport to access the existing EJB session bean Provide it as a contract-first SOAP web service on OSB RMI / IIOP Transaction propagation

46 Agenda Principles of Service Design Service Design Service Model and Implementation Service Versioning Summary

47 Service Versioning Services once deployed can never be changed Stable endpoints, don t necessarly know our consumers WS-* specs have no versioning concept in place The ripple effects of changes

48 Service Versioning In software, major-minor versioning is used to accommodate two levels of change A major change indicates a large update that creates an incompatibility with existing deployments Typically indicates large scale revisions of the product with significant new features or bug fixes Change to the first digit A minor change indicates an update that is backward compatible with existing deployments of the software that share the same major version Typically contain a number of small new features, bug fixes and issues resolutions that do not break compatibility Change to the second or subsequent digit

49 Implementing Versioning on ESB Common Endpoint for all versions One Endpoint per Major Version with Version in Message One Endpoint per Major Version One Endpoint per Version

50 Service Versioning WSDL Version 1.0

51 Service Versioning WSDL 1.1
