| Special eBook Discount Offer | | Design and build flexible, reusable, and loosely-coupled SOA solutions with BizTalk Server 2009
SOA is about architecture, not products and SOA enables you to create better business processes faster than ever. While BizTalk Server 2009 is a powerful tool, by itself it cannot deliver long-lasting, agile solutions unless we actively apply tried and tested service-oriented principles.
The current BizTalk Server books are all for the 2006 version and none of them specifically looks at how to map service-oriented principles and patterns to the BizTalk product. That's where this book fits in. In this book, we specifically investigate how to design and build service-oriented solutions using BizTalk Server 2009 as the host platform.
This book extends your existing BizTalk knowledge to apply service-oriented thinking to classic BizTalk scenarios. We look at how to build the most reusable, flexible, and loosely-coupled solutions possible in the BizTalk environment. Along the way, we dive deeply into BizTalk Server's integration with Windows Communication Foundation, and see how to take advantage of the latest updates to the Microsoft platform. Chock full of dozens of demonstrations, this book walks through design considerations, development options, and strategies for maintaining production solutions.
Read the full Table of Contents for SOA Patterns with BizTalk Server 2009
- Understand how the core aspects of SOA apply to specific BizTalk components
- Consume and expose WCF services from BizTalk solutions
- Build schemas that enable efficient data sharing
- Exploit asynchronous programming models and implement client callbacks
- Chain orchestrations together in a loosely coupled way
- See one solution for complex event processing in a BizTalk environment
- Efficiently version BizTalk artifacts
- Get to know Microsoft UDDI v3 services and how to add and reference services in this registry
- Enhance BizTalk solutions with the Microsoft ESB Guidance package
- Utilize the WCF SQL Server Adapter as both a client and a service
Chapter 1: Building BizTalk Server 2009 Solutions
A brief walkthrough of creating a new BizTalk project from scratch.
Demonstrations: Building schemas, creating maps, configuring messaging, and incorporating orchestration.
Chapter 2: Windows Communication Foundation Primer
An overview of WCF with examples of developing, hosting, and consuming WCF services.
Demonstrations: Defining service contracts, adding data contracts, designing fault contracts, self-hosting of services, and consuming WCF services.
Chapter 3: Using WCF Services in BizTalk Server 2009
An explanation of the marriage between BizTalk and WCF and how to both expose and consume WCF services within BizTalk Server.
Demonstrations: Exposing WCF services from orchestrations, exposing WCF services from schemas, consuming WCF services from orchestrations, and consuming WCF services without orchestration.
Chapter 4: Planning Service Oriented BizTalk Solutions
A discussion of the core aspects of SOA, the types of services one can construct, available message exchange patterns, and how service-oriented principles apply to BizTalk solutions.
Chapter 5: Schema and Endpoint Patterns
How to build effective schemas and endpoints depending on the type of service constructed.
Demonstrations: Designing RPC, document and event schemas, building canonical schemas, reusing schemas, node feature mapping for service clients, building generic schemas, and constructing contract-first endpoints.
Chapter 6: Asynchronous Communication Patterns
A look at options for asynchronous communication and how to exploit this pattern in BizTalk solutions.
Demonstrations: Creating synchronous WCF services, building client-side asynchronous experiences, creating asynchronous WCF services, consuming asynchronous services in BizTalk Server, exposing asynchronous services from BizTalk Server, building WCF services that support client callback, BizTalk solutions for client callbacks, and using MSMQ for asynchronous solutions.
Chapter 7: Orchestration Patterns
We analyze the role of orchestration in service solutions and see how to build loosely coupled workflow processes.
Demonstrations: Dynamic consumption of WCF endpoints, supporting dual initiating message exchange patterns, chaining orchestrations using business rules, transactions in aggregate service orchestrations, and building a complex event processing solution.
Chapter 8: Versioning Patterns
We see here how to effectively version our SOA solutions and cleanly introduce updates to our BizTalk components.
Demonstrations: How to version schemas, how to version endpoints, exploiting user-defined WSDLs in BizTalk endpoints, versioning long-running orchestration solutions, and delaying change through the use of flexible schema fields and generic on-ramps.
Chapter 9: New SOA Capabilities in BizTalk Server 2009: WCF SQL Server Adapter
Using the WCF SQL Server Adapter to implement composite transactions, poll for data changes, receive query notification, consuming the adapter through its binding, auto-generating an HTTP endpoint for the adapter, and building a proxy service for the adapter.
Chapter 10: New SOA Capabilities in BizTalk Server 2009: UDDI Services
Adding services to the UDDI registry, performing dynamic endpoint resolution, and configuring the new subscription notification feature.
Chapter 11: New SOA Capabilities in BizTalk Server 2009: ESB Guidance 2.0
Using the ESB Guidance transformation service, resolver service and exception service, designing routing itineraries, transformation itineraries and complex itineraries that consume both the WCF SQL Server Adapter and a custom orchestration.
Chapter 12: What's Next
A brief wrap-up and discussion of upcoming technologies from Microsoft.
This book takes a hands-on approach to explain and present ways to use BizTalk Server 2009 in a service-oriented fashion. Written much like the author's blog, this book does not direct your every mouse click and keyboard stroke, but rather identifies the problem being solved, and includes the code snippets and screenshots necessary to recreate these solutions yourself.
Targeted at individuals already familiar with BizTalk Server and not those expecting a full tutorial on every aspect of the product, this book is ideal for architects and developers who want to develop the most maintainable BizTalk Server solutions possible. This is the first book available on BizTalk Server 2009 and covers all relevant features for those of you designing a BizTalk business solution.
Richard Seroter
Richard Seroter is a solutions architect for an industry-leading biotechnology company, a Microsoft MVP for BizTalk Server, and a Microsoft Connected Systems Advisor. He has spent the majority of his career consulting with customers as they planned and implemented their enterprise software solutions. Richard worked first for two global IT consulting firms, which gave him exposure to a diverse range of industries, technologies, and business challenges. Richard then joined Microsoft as a SOA/BPM technology specialist where his sole objective was to educate and collaborate with customers as they considered, designed, and architected BizTalk solutions. One of those customers liked him enough to bring him onboard full time as an architect after they committed to using BizTalk Server as their enterprise service bus. Once the BizTalk environment was successfully established, Richard transitioned into a solutions architect role where he now helps identify enterprise best practices and applies good architectural principles to a wide set of IT initiatives. Richard maintains a semi-popular blog of his exploits, pitfalls, and musings with BizTalk Server and enterprise architecture at http://seroter.wordpress.com.
