The IBM SOA Programming Model
by
Matjaz B. Juric | November 2010 | BPEL Enterprise Articles IBM SOA
When embarking on an SOA journey, developers often come across the daunting realities of multiple programming languages, technologies, data format representation, implementation framework options, and such others, when they build services, use services, and develop solutions that aggregate services. The focus should be on programming the business and service design, not on the technology of the underlying implementation.
In this article by Matjaz B. Juric, author of the book WS-BPEL 2.0 for SOA Composite Applications with IBM WebSphere 7, we will take a look at IBM's SOA programming model.

Sachin Joshi | November 2010 | Enterprise Articles Microsoft
While developing enterprise-scale applications, developers often find themselves focusing on mundane and repeated tasks generally referred to as cross-cutting concerns: tasks such as writing repeated data access code, logging exceptions, handling and managing exceptions, caching data, validating user input, and so on.

Authorizing User Access to BPEL Process
by
Matjaz B. Juric | October 2010 | Enterprise Articles Web Development
In the previous article, Securing a BPEL process, we saw the principles of securing BPEL processes.
In this article, by Matjaz B. Juric, author of WS-BPEL 2.0 for SOA Composite Applications with IBM WebSphere 7, we will look at how to secure BPEL processes, so that they can be accessed only by authenticated users. In a nutshell, we will:
- Configure the web service export of a BPEL process to propagate user identity to the process, so that a process instance ownership can be claimed in that user's name
- Protect a BPEL process at SCA level as a component to implement access to the process for authorized users only
