The Definitive Guide to SOA: Oracle® Service Bus, Second Edition targets professional software developers and architects who know enterprise development but are new to enterprise service buses (ESBs) and serviceâoriented architecture (SOA) development. This is the first book to cover a practical approach to SOA using the BEA AquaLogic Service Bus tool. And it's written from the âsourceââBEA Systems AquaLogic product lead Jeff Davies. This book provides handsâon information to developing SOAâdriven applications with ESBs as central components. It also gives strategic guidance on SOA planning, web service lifeâcycle management, administration of an ESB, and security considerations. Author Jeff Davies is careful to cut through theory and get straight to demonstrating successful use of the product.
