"SOA Design Patterns is an important contribution to the literature
and practice of building and delivering quality software-intensive
systems." - Grady Booch, IBM Fellow "With the continued explosion
of services and the increased rate of adoption of SOA through the
market, there is a critical need for comprehensive, actionable
guidance that provides the fastest possible time to results.
Microsoft is honored to contribute to the SOA Design Patterns book,
and to continue working with the community to realize the value of
Real World SOA." - Steven Martin, Senior Director, Developer
Platform Product Management, Microsoft "SOA Design Patterns
provides the proper guidance with the right level of abstraction to
be adapted to each organization's needs, and Oracle is pleased to
have contributed to the patterns contained in this book." - Dr.
Mohamad Afshar, Director of Product Management, Oracle Fusion
Middleware, Oracle "Red Hat is pleased to be involved in the SOA
Design Patterns book and contribute important SOA design patterns
to the community that we and our customers have used within our own
SOA platforms. I am sure this will be a great resource for future
SOA practitioners." - Pierre Fricke Director, Product Line
Management, JBoss SOA Platform, Red Hat "A wealth of proven,
reusable SOA design patterns, clearly explained and illustrated
with examples. An invaluable resource for all those involved in the
design of service-oriented solutions." - Phil Thomas, Consulting IT
Specialist, IBM Software Group "This obligatory almanac of SOA
design patterns will become the foundation on which many
organizations will build their successful SOA solutions. It will
allow organizations to build their own focused SOA design patterns
catalog in an expedited fashion knowing that it contains the wealth
and expertise of proven SOA best practices." - Stephen Bennett,
Director, Technology Business Unit, Oracle Corporation "The
technical differences between service orientation and object
orientation are subtle enough to confuse even the most advanced
developers. Thomas Erl's book provides a great service by clearly
articulating SOA design patterns and differentiating them from
similar OO design patterns." - Anne Thomas Manes, VP & Research
Director, Burton Group "SOA Design Patterns does an excellent job
of laying out and discussing the areas of SOA design that a
competent SOA practitioner should understand and employ." - Robert
Laird, SOA Architect, IBM "As always, Thomas delivers again. In a
well-structured and easy-to-understand way, this book provides a
wonderful collection of patterns each addressing a typical set of
SOA design problems with well articulated solutions. The plain
language and hundreds of diagrams included in the book help make
the complicated subjects of SOA design comprehensible even to those
who are new to the SOA design world. It's a must-have reference
book for all SOA practitioners, especially for enterprise
architects, solution architects, developers, managers, and business
process experts." - Canyang Kevin Liu, Solution Architecture
Manager, SAP "The concept of service oriented architecture has long
promised visions of agile organizations being able to swap out
interfaces and applications as business needs change. SOA also
promises incredible developer and IT productivity, with the idea
that key services would be candidates for cross-enterprise sharing
or reuse. But many organizations' efforts to move to SOA have been
mired-by organizational issues, by conflicting vendor messages, and
by architectures that may amount to little more than Just a Bunch
of Web Services. There's been a lot of confusion in the SOA
marketplace about exactly what SOA is, what it's supposed to
accomplish, and how an enterprise goes about in making it work. SOA
Design Patterns is a definitive work that offers clarity on the
purpose and functioning of service oriented architecture. SOA
Design Patterns not only helps the IT practitioner lay the
groundwork for a well-functioning SOA effort across the enterprise,
but also connects the dots between SOA and the business
requirements in a very concrete way. Plus, this book is completely
technology agnostic-SOA Design Patterns rightly focuses on
infrastructure and architecture, and it doesn't matter whether
you're using components of one kind or another, or Java, or .NET,
or Web services, or REST-style interfaces. While no two SOA
implementations are alike, Thomas Erl and his team of contributors
have effectively identified the similarities in composition
services need to have at a sub-atomic level in order to interact
with each other as we hope they will. The book identifies 85 SOA
design patterns which have been developed and thoroughly vetted to
ensure that a service-oriented architecture does achieve the
flexibility and loose coupling promised. The book is also
compelling in that it is a living document, if you will, inviting
participation in an open process to identify and formulate new
patterns to this growing body of knowledge." - Joe McKendrick,
Independent Analyst, Author of ZDNet's SOA Blog "If you want to
truly educate yourself on SOA, read this book." - Sona Srinivasan,
Global Client Services & Operations, CISCO "An impressive
decomposition of the process and architectural elements that
support serviceoriented analysis, design, and delivery. Right-sized
and terminologically consistent. Overall, the book represents a
patient separation of concerns in respect of the process and
architectural parts that underpin any serious SOA undertaking. Two
things stand out. First, the pattern relationship diagrams provide
rich views into the systemic relationships that structure a
service-oriented architecture: these patterns are not discrete,
isolated templates to be applied mechanically to the problem space;
rather, they form a network of forces and constraints that guide
the practitioner to consider the task at hand in the context of its
inter-dependencies. Second, the pattern sequence diagrams and
accompanying notes provide a useful framework for planning and
executing the many activities that comprise an SOA engagement." -
Ian Robinson, Principal Technology Consultant, ThoughtWorks
"Successful implementation of SOA principles requires a shift in
focus from software system means, or the way capabilities are
developed, to the desired end results, or real-world effects
required to satisfy organizational business processes. In SOA
Design Patterns, Thomas Erl provides service architects with a
broad palette of reusable service patterns that describe service
capabilities that can cut across many SOA applications. Service
architects taking advantage of these patterns will save a great
deal of time describing and assembling services to deliver the real
world effects they need to meet their organization's specific
business objectives." - Chuck Georgo, Public Safety and National
Security Architect "In IT, we have increasingly come to see the
value of having catalogs of good solution patterns in programming
and systems design. With this book, Thomas Erl brings a
comprehensive set of patterns to bear on the world of SOA. These
patterns enable easily communicated, reusable, and effective
solutions, allowing us to more rapidly design and build out the
large, complicated and interoperable enterprise SOAs into which our
IT environments are evolving." - Al Gough, Business Systems
Solutions CTO, CACI International Inc. "This book provides a
comprehensive and pragmatic review of design issues in
service-centric design, development, and evolution. The Web site
related to this book [SOAPatterns.org] is a wonderful platform and
gives the opportunity for the software community to maintain this
catalogue...." - Veronica Gacitua Decar, Dublin City University
"Erl's SOA Design Patterns is for the IT decision maker determined
to make smart architecture design choices, smart investments, and
long term enterprise impact. For those IT professionals committed
to service-orientation as a value-added design and implementation
option, Patterns offers a credible, repeatable approach to
engineering an adaptable business enterprise. This is a must read
for all IT architect professionals." - Larry Gloss, VP and General
Manager, Information Manufacturing, LLC "These SOA patterns define,
encompass, and comprise a complete repertoire of best practices for
developing a world-class IT SOA portfolio for the enterprise and
its organizational units through to service and schema analysis and
design. After many years as an architect on many SOA projects, I
strongly recommend this book be on the shelf of every analyst and
technical member of any SOA effort, right next to the SOA standards
and guidelines it outlines and elucidates the need for. Our SOA
governance standards draw heavily from this work and others from
this series." - Robert John Hathaway III, Enterprise Software
Architect, SOA Object Systems "A wise man once told me that wisdom
isn't all about knowledge and intelligence, it is just as much
about asking questions. Asking questions is the true mark of wisdom
and during the writing of the SOA Design Patterns book Thomas Erl
has shown his real qualities. The community effort behind this book
is huge meaning that Thomas has had access to the knowledge and
experience of a large group of accomplished practitioners. The
result speaks for itself. This book is packed with proven solutions
to recurring problems, and the documented pros and cons of each
solution have been verified by persons with true experience. This
book could give SOA initiatives of any scale a real boost." -
Herbjoern Wilhelmsen, Architect and Senior Consultant, Objectware
"This book is an absolute milestone in SOA literature. For the
first time we are provided with a practical guide on how the
principle centric description of service orientation from a
vendor-agnostic viewpoint is actually made to work in a language
based on patterns. This book makes you talk SOA! There are very few
who understand SOA like Thomas Erl does, he actually put's it all
together!" - Brian Lokhorst, Solution Architect, Dutch Tax Office
"Service oriented architecture is all about best practices we have
learned since IT's existence. This book takes all those best
practices and bundles them into a nice pattern catalogue. [It
provides] a really excellent approach as patterns are not just
documented but are provided with application scenarios through case
studies [which] fills the gap between theory and practice." -
Shakti Sharma, Senior Enterprise Architect, Sysco Corp "An
excellent and important book on solving problems in SOA [with a]
solid structure. Has the potential of being among the major
influential books." - Peter Chang, Lawrence Technical University
"SOA Design Patterns presents a vast amount of knowledge about how
to successfully implement SOA within an organization. The
information is clear, concise, and most importantly, legitimate." -
Peter B. Woodhull, President and Principal Architect, Modus21 "SOA
Design Patterns offers real insights into everyday problems that
one will encounter when investing in services oriented
architecture. [It] provides a number of problem descriptions and
offers strategies for dealing with these problems. SOA design
patterns highlights more than just the technical problems and
solutions. Common organizational issues that can hinder progress
towards achieving SOA migration are explained along with potential
approaches for dealing with these real world challenges. Once again
Thomas Erl provides in-depth coverage of SOA terminology and helps
the reader better understand and appreciate the complexities of
migrating to an SOA environment." - David Michalowicz, Air and
Space Operations Center Modernization Team Lead, MITRE Corporation
"This is a long overdue, serious, comprehensive, and well-presented
catalog of SOA design patterns. This will be required reading and
reference for all our SOA engineers and architects. The best of the
series so far! [The book] works in two ways: as a primer in SOA
design and architecture it can easily be read front-to-back to get
an overview of most of the key design issues you will encounter,
and as a reference catalog of design techniques that can be
referred to again and again..." - Wendell Ocasio, Architecture
Consultant, DoD Military Health Systems, Agilex Technologies
"Thomas has once again provided the SOA practitioner with a
phenomenal collection of knowledge. This is a reference that I will
come back to time and time again as I move forward in SOA design
efforts. What I liked most about this book is its vendor agnostic
approach to SOA design patterns. This approach really presents the
reader with an understanding of why or why not to implement a
pattern, group patterns, or use compound patterns rather than
giving them a marketing spiel on why one implementation of a
pattern is better than another (for example, why one ESB is better
than another). I think as SOA adoption continues to advance, the
ability for architects to understand when and why to apply specific
patterns will be a driving factor in the overall success and
evolution of SOA. Additionally, I believe that this book provides
the consumer with the understanding required to chose which
vendor's SOA products are right for their specific needs." - Bryan
Brew, SOA Consultant, Booz Allen Hamilton "A must have for every
SOA practitioner." - Richard Van Schelven, Principal Engineer,
Ericsson "This book is a long-expected successor to the books on
object-oriented design patterns and integration patterns. It is a
great reference book that clearly and thoroughly describes design
patterns for SOA. A great read for architects who are facing the
challenge of transforming their enterprise into a service-oriented
enterprise." - Linda Terlouw, Solution Architect, Ordina "The
maturation of Service-Orientation has given the industry time to
absorb the best practices of service development. Thomas Erl has
amassed this collective wisdom in SOA Design Patterns, an
absolutely indispensible addition to any Service Oriented
bookshelf." - Kevin P. Davis, Ph.D "The problem with most texts on
SOA is one of specificity. Architects responsible for SOA
implementation in most organizations have little time for abstract
theories on the subject, but are hungry for concrete details that
they can relate to the real problems they face in their
environment. SOA Design Patterns is critical reading for anyone
with service design responsibilities. Not only does the text
provide the normal pattern templates, but each pattern is applied
in detail against a background case study to provide exceptionally
meaningful context to the information. The graphic visualizations
of the problems and pattern solutions are excellent supplementary
companions to the explanatory text. This book will greatly stretch
the knowledge of the reader as much for raising and addressing
issues that may have never occurred to the reader as it does in
treating those problems that are in more common occurrence. The
real beauty of this book is in its plain English prose. Unlike so
many technical reference books, one does not find themselves
re-reading sections multiple times trying to discern the intent of
the author. This is also not a reference that will sit gathering
dust on a shelf after one or two perusings. Practitioners will find
themselves returning over and over to utilize the knowledge in
their projects. This is as close as you'll come to having a service
design expert sitting over your shoulder." - James Kinneavy,
Principal Software Architect, University of California "As the
industry converges on SOA patterns, Erl provides an outstanding
reference guide to composition and integration-and yet another
distinctive contribution to the SOA practice." - Steve Birkel,
Chief IT Technical Architect, Intel Corp. "With SOA Design
Patterns, Thomas Erl adds an indispensable SOA reference volume to
the technologist's library. Replete with to-the-point examples, it
will be a helpful aid to any IT organization." - Ed Dodds,
Strategist, Systems Architect, Conmergence "Again, Thomas Erl has
written an indispensable guide to SOA. Building on his prior
successes, his patterns go into even more detail. Therefore, this
book is not only helpful to the SOA beginner, but also provides new
insight and ideas to professionals." - Philipp Offermann, Research
Scientist, Technische Universitat Berlin, Germany "SOA Design
Patterns is an extraordinary contribution to SOA best practices!
Once again, Thomas has created an indispensable resource for any
person or organization interested in or actively engaged in the
practice of Service Oriented Architecture. Using case studies based
on three very different business models, Thomas guides the reader
through the process of selecting appropriate implementation
patterns to ensure a flexible, well-performing, and secure SOA
ecosystem." - Victor Brown, Managing Partner and Principal
Consultant, Cypress Management Group Corporation In cooperation
with experts and practitioners throughout the SOA community,
best-selling author Thomas Erl brings together the de facto catalog
of design patterns for SOA and service-orientation. More than three
years in development and subjected to numerous industry reviews,
the 85 patterns in this full-color book provide the most successful
and proven design techniques to overcoming the most common and
critical problems to achieving modern-day SOA. Through numerous
examples, individually documented pattern profiles, and over 400
color illustrations, this book provides in-depth coverage of: *
Patterns for the design, implementation, and governance of service
inventories-collections of services representing individual service
portfolios that can be independently modeled, designed, and
evolved. * Patterns specific to service-level architecture which
pertain to a wide range of design areas, including contract design,
security, legacy encapsulation, reliability, scalability, and a
variety of implementation and governance issues. * Service
composition patterns that address the many aspects associated with
combining services into aggregate distributed solutions, including
topics such as runtime messaging and message design, inter-service
security controls, and transformation. * Compound patterns (such as
Enterprise Service Bus and Orchestration) and recommended pattern
application sequences that establish foundational processes. The
book begins by establishing SOA types that are referenced
throughout the patterns and then form the basis of a final chapter
that discusses the architectural impact of service-oriented
computing in general. These chapters bookend the pattern catalog to
provide a clear link between SOA design patterns, the strategic
goals of service-oriented computing, different SOA types, and the
service-orientation design paradigm. This book series is further
supported by a series of resources sites, including soabooks.com,
soaspecs.com, soapatterns.org, soamag.com, and soaposters.com.
