what are the important principles of SOA
what are the important principles of SOA (Service oriented Architecture)?
✍: Guest
WCF is based on SOA. All big companies are playing big bets on SOA. So how can
Microsoft remain behind? So in order to implement SOA architecture easily you need to
use WCF.
SOA is based on four important concepts:
Boundaries are well defined
In SOA everything is formalized. The client who is consuming the service does not need
to know how the implementation of the service is done. If you look at some old
methodologies of communication like DCOM. Any changes at server level the client
also has to change. So the server and client implementation was so much bound that
changes need to be done at all places. In SOA the rule is if you do enhancement you do
not need to change anything at the client. SOA based application only understands that
there is an end point, contract and bindings.
Services evolve
Change is the law of nature and services will also evolve. In SOA services can be versioned
and you can host those services in new end points. For instance you have a service called
as gSearchTickets (TicketNumber) gwhich gives details based on TicketNumber and its
exposed on end point gep1h. Tomorrow you want make your SearchTickets service more
useful by also providing an extra option of allowing him to search by passenger name. So
you just declare a new end point gep2h with service gSearchTickets (TicketNumber,
Passenger Name)h. So the client who is consuming the service at end point ep1 continues
and at the other end we have also evolved our service by adding new end points ep2.
Services share only schemas and contracts
Services use Schemas to represent data and contracts to understand behavior. They do
not use language dependent types or classes in order to understand data and behavior.
XML is used to define schemas and contracts. Due to this there is not heavy coupling
between environments.
Service compatibility is policy based
Policy describes the capabilities of the system. Depending on policies the service can
degrade to match the service for the client. For instance your service needs to be hosted
for two types of client one which uses Remoting as the communication methodology
while other client uses DCOM. An ideal SOA service can cater to both of them according
to there communication policies.
