Centralized Asynchronous Auditing with Service Broker

Mon, 16 Jul 2007 07:32:05 GMT

Service Broker is a new feature in SQL Server 2005. It is an integrated part of the database engine and it provides queuing and reliable direct asynchronous messaging between SQL Server 2005 instances only. In the future this is planned to be extended to non-SQL Server instances. This article shows how to use Service Broker and triggers to capture data changes.

Windows Vista Technical Articles: Hosting and Consuming WCF Services

Fri, 04 May 2007 11:46:01 GMT

This article discusses Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) hosting options and consuming WCF services. The traditional ASMX Web services were hosted only on Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS). The hosting options for WCF services are significantly enhanced in Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0. We will discuss extending the hosting model to include Windows Services and Self-Hosting options. We will also explore in detail IIS hosting (versions 5.1, 6.0, and 7.0) and Windows Activation Services (WAS) hosting options available for WCF services. The content for this article is based on Chapter 5 of Pro WCF: Practical Microsoft SOA Implementation, published by Apress. This book is authored by a global team of Avanade consultants. It is targeted towards beginner-to-intermediate readers and is part of the Apress series that discusses Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), and Windows Workflow Foundation (WF).

Message oriented interop between WCF and Oracle App Server WSIF

Fri, 04 May 2007 13:16:01 GMT

A few weeks ago, in an SOA forum, someone inquired about which technologies to use to achieve untyped interactions with Web Services. Untyped interactions are interactions in which the Service Contract (WSDL, Policies, etc) is not available at design time. This is a classic Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) scenario in which multiple and generic interactions with Web Services are needed and in which generating specific proxies per Web Services is not a practical solution. Going back to my conversation, my response to the question was that the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) channel model in .NET and the Web Services Invocation Framework (WSIF) in J2EE are technologies that can address those types of scenarios. Surprisingly, when somebody else asked me about .NET-J2EE interoperability references for those technologies, mainly WSIF, I could not find a good example for them to reference.

SOA Reference model

Semantic annotations for WSDL and XML Schema Working Draft

Tue, 01 May 2007 09:05:02 GMT

One of the major challenges in Real World SOA enterprise applications is the lack of semantic information associated with Service Contracts. For a while now the W3C folks have been working in different efforts for relating semantic web Standards (RDF, SPARK, etc) with Web Service basic standards (SOAP, WSDL, etc). One of those efforts Semantic annotations for WSDL and XML Schema has been announced as a W3C working draft.

New for the SOA Standards land

Tue, 01 May 2007 09:01:40 GMT

The World Wide Web Consortium today released four SOAP 1.2 Second Editions as W3C Recommendations: Part 0: Primer, Part 1: Messaging Framework, Part 2: Adjuncts, and Specification Assertions and Test Collection. SOAP Version 1.2 provides the definition of the XML-based information that can be used for exchanging structured and typed information between peers in a decentralized, distributed environment. OASIS, the international standards consortium, today announced that its members have approved Web Services Context (WS-Context) version 1.0 as an OASIS Standard, a status that signifies the highest level of ratification. WS-Context defines an open framework for supporting coordinated and transactional compositions of multiple Web services applications.
