SOA Patterns with BizTalk Server 2009
Written by Richard Seroter, this book discusses the core principles of SOA, and shows developers how to apply them to BizTalk solutions.
Microsoft BizTalk Server (BizTalk) is a business process management (BPM) server that enables companies to automate and integrate business processes. While BizTalk Server 2009 is a powerful tool, by itself it cannot deliver long-lasting, agile solutions unless service-oriented principles are applied to it. This is where this book fits in. Using BizTalk Server 2009 as the host platform, the reader is guided while designing and building service-oriented solutions.
Developers will understand the core aspects of SOA and will learn how to apply them to classic BizTalk components. By learning about BizTalk Server's integration with Windows Communication Foundation, the reader will learn to take advantage of the latest updates to the Microsoft platform. They will also be taught how to build schemas that enable efficient data sharing.
Through this book, users will learn about Microsoft UDDI v3 services, and will be shown how to add and reference services in this registry. They will also be able to utilize the WCF SQL Server Adapter as both a client and a service. Using the Microsoft ESB Guidance package, they will be able to enhance BizTalk solutions. Users will learn to exploit asynchronous programming models, implement client callbacks, and chain orchestrations together in a loosely coupled way.
Individuals interested in developing the most maintainable BizTalk Server solutions will find this book useful. The book is out now and is available from Packt. For more information, please visit http://www.packtpub.com/
