The first article in this series explained the applicability of Web-based
situational applications (SAs) to the enterprise, their relationship to
Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), and how they can be used to improve the current
state of corporate IT. Part 2 described the IBM experience in building the
Situational Applications Environment (SAE), which has been developed to support the
community-based computing that takes advantage of both traditional SOA and emerging
Web 2.0 technologies and approaches. This third and final installment describes
several SAs, the business situation that inspired their creation, their
architecture, the tangible business results that come from technologies that enable
each solution, and lessons learned.

Learn how you can leverage the features of WebSphere Business Services
Fabric to build composite business applications that support dynamic binding
and orchestration. In Part 2, you’ll learn how to model the variability points
in the business process as ontology extensions using the Fabric Modeling Tool.

There are two specifications for describing interfaces of HTTP-based Web
applications:
Web Application Description Language (WADL) and the Web Services Description
Language (WSDL) 2.0 HTTP binding extension. These two languages are very similar, but
there are some differences. This white paper (see below) provides an unbiased, objective comparison
of the two technologies, highlighting both the differences and similarities between WADL and
the WSDL 2.0 HTTP binding.

SOAP nodes send and receive SOAP-based Web services messages, allowing a
message flow to interact with Web service endpoints. The messages might be plain
SOAP, SOAP with Attachments (SwA), or Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism
(MTOM). The nodes are configured using Web Services Description Language (WSDL) and
support WS-Security and WS-Addressing. This four-part series describes the SOAP
nodes, the logical tree for the new SOAP domain, and details of configuration and
runtime behavior. In this first article, you learn about the basic use of the nodes.
You should have a general familiarity with SOAP-based Web services and WSDL to
follow along with this article series.

As more companies are putting service oriented solutions — including a portfolio of services — into production, the role of managing of these solutions becomes increasingly important. This ranges from monitoring individual services with respect to their associated service level agreements and the discovery of ”rogue” services that do not follow established protocols, all the way to the active management of an entire environment of applications, servers, and the networks that connect them. This part of our series on integrating products of the IBM SOA Foundation looks at how to manage a WebSphere-based SOA solution with IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for SOA.
