Web service as a dedicated security monitoring host or Web services that
work together as the distributed security monitoring host? Judith Myerson
examines the pros and cons of each host type and suggests how each can be used
to solve security problems.
Prepare for the IBM Certification Test 992, IBM WebSphere Business
Modeler Advanced V6.1, Business Analysis and Design. This tutorial
series covers
information about the business process management industry and tool usage.
We’ll review general business process management concepts and modeling
methodologies. In addition, you’ll learn how IBM WebSphere Business Modeler
relates to the SOA life cycle. Finally, you’ll explore critical success
factors for business process modeling.
This article series introduces an automatic deployment toolkit
(Automatic-DT), which helps infrastructure architects install and configure
deployment nodes with a list of IBM software installed and configured
automatically. It also helps testers and developers refresh builds in their
daily tests and integration life cycle. In this article, Part 3 in the series,
build automatic installation and configuration scripts on IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows and IBM Content Manager.
This article explains some common XML Schema Definition (XSD) features
that aren’t directly supported in Java-based Web services toolkits. Learn how
to handle these features by creating an intermediate Java-friendly XSD or
enforcing XSD restrictions in code.

Learn how to develop and test a JSR-109 Web service using the top-down approach in IBM Rational
Application Developer V7 and then publish the WSDL document to WebSphere
Service Registry and Repository V6.1. Using the Web Services wizard and the
Service Registry Eclipse plug-in, this article shows you a fast path to
creating and publishing a simple Web service.
The model, assemble, deploy, manage, and governance activities of
Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) development can be time consuming and
expensive when delivering new solutions from scratch. Adhering to industry
standards is also challenging. This article series explains the end-to-end
development of composite business services (CBSs) that leverage assets in the
industry content packs of IBM WebSphere Business Services Fabric. In this
first article in the series, walk through the development process in detail using a case
study from the healthcare industry that involves using the IBM Healthcare Payor
Content Pack. Find out how this content pack’s assets accelerate the
development of CBSs, thereby reducing the time to build.
You need an appropriate governance process model in place to effectively
realize the benefits of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) development
life-cycle activities. This article describes SOA governance processes based
on scenarios that are adopted in a typical enterprise during the SOA
development life cycle. Take a close look at important life-cycle activities,
such as service identification, service creation and reuse, service testing,
service versioning and change management, service-level management (quality of
service), and service security. Learn about the challenges that your
organization might face in a typical SOA development life cycle and how to
address these challenges by implementing governance subprocesses and by
delegating certain roles and responsibilities to the respective layers of a
governance body for each scenario.
The WS-Policy specification provides a simple language for expressing
policies supported by Web services. IBM WebSphere Service Registry and Repository
supports loading, changing, and retrieving policy documents, and also supports
using policy attachments to link a given policy with a service. This can then be
used by a run time component, like an Enterprise Service Bus, to retrieve
defined policies for a particular service or operation and act accordingly.
This article shows how you can utilize standard WS-Policy documents stored in a
registry to impact run time behavior in an ESB — and then change that behavior
on the fly with no code changes or redeployment. (IBM WebSphere Developer Technical Journal)
Using service-oriented architectures as a way of enabling flexible and resilient enterprises is becoming widespread. Success with initial SOA deployments now lets architects and developers focus on things that are common to all business and IT systems. One such constant in any system is change. This article discusses the challenge of change in SOA and describes a model that helps address the challenge. (IBM WebSphere Developer Technical Journal)
