Application Integration


Application Integration Various Methods of Application Integration Point-to-point and middleware

FTP/SFTP with Batch/Schedule process

Shared Database

JMS – Publish and Subscribe

Web Services

• SOAP Based Service

JAX-RPC is a Java specification- Obsolete

JAX-WS is a Java Specification (E.g.. Apache Axis is an implementation)

WSDL

• ReSTful Web Services

Rest is an Architectural Style

Rest uses HTTP standard methods POST, GET, PUT and DELETE

JAX-RS is a Java specification API for RESTful web services.

Jersey & ReST easy are java implementation of JAX-RS



SOA & Integration Integrate applications which are running in various locations and

various platforms. To make these applications as a single unit(Global) For extending the existing functionalities by re-using the existing

functionalities. To make the application accessible from out of network without

changing the business logic.

Message Oriented Middleware Messaging

Communication between different programs through messages. A message contains data (payload) and information about the data and the

transmission (header). • Synchronous messaging • Asynchronous messaging • Tightly coupled • Loose coupled

Queuing Messages are put on queues in storage, eliminating the need for programs to be logically connected.



Messaging and Queuing (Contd ..)


Step-1 : Program A puts message into Queue1

Step-2 : Program B gets message from Queue1


Messaging and Queuing (Contd ..)


Step-1: Program A puts message into Queue1 and

Step-2 : Program B gets message from Queue1

Step-3 : Program B puts response message into Queue2

Step-4 : Program A receives response message from Queue2

WebSphere MQ


WebSphere MQ

Features:

• Message Oriented Middleware from IBM. • Reliable and robust • Provides any-to-any connectivity and it is both language and

platform independent. • Compactable with more than 80 platforms • Guaranteed delivery • Allows loose coupling • Provides both asynchronous and synchronous communication • Good monitoring and administration tools


WebSphere MQ - Components

Queue Manager (QM) • Supplies applications with WebSphere MQ services • Program must be connected to QM • Manages queues, channels and more …



MQ Listener

Listens on a specific Port



MQ Queues Data structure in which messages are stored Applications can PUT or GET messages

Local Queue • Application Queue • Transmission Queue • Shared Queue • Model and Dynamic Queue • Dead Letter Queue • Back-out Queue • Replay-To-Queue

Alias Queue Remote Queue



Local Queue Local to the Queue Manager Properties PUT GET Browse Queue Depth Triggering Wait Option



Remote Queue • Pointer to local queue on another Queue Manager

• PUT only



Alias Queue • A pointer to a local or remote queue on the same QM • Supports GET and PUT when pointing to a Local Queue • Supports PUT only when pointing to a Remote Queue



Transmission Queue Temp storage for messages sent to remote queues



MQ Channels Communication path between Queue Managers

Communication path between MQ Client and Server

• MQ Client Software

• MQ Client as application API

• Channel Security ( MQ-SSL)

1. Sender Channel

2. Receiver Channel

3. Client Connection Channel

4. Server Connection Channel


WebSphere MQ


MQ Message Messages consist of:

Header (MQMD) Used by Queue Manager and application to handling properties of the message

User Data The application-to-application data (“payload”)

Message Properties Destination Queue Reply Queue name Time to live (expiry) Format Correlation ID Persistence

WebSphere MQ – Client and Server

MQ Connectivity Client-To-Server Connection ( MQ Client to QM) Client to server connection establishes between MQ Client and MQ Server. Client to server connection can be between cross platforms like MQ Client installed in Windows and MQ Server installed in Linux/Solaris/AIX/HP UX etc. Server-To-Server connection ( QM to QM ) Server to server connection establishes between MQ Server and MQ Server. Server to server connection can be between cross platforms like one MQ Server installed in Windows and the other MQ Server installed in Linux/Solaris/AIX/HP UX etc. The server-to-server communication can be asynchronous and bi-directional

ESB Basics


ESB


An ESB is a middleware solution that enables interoperability among heterogeneous environments using a service-oriented model

For interaction and communication between mutually interacting software applications in Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)

Reducing the number, size and complexity of interfaces

Transformation, Routing & Protocol Conversion

Definition of "ESB" differs between the various vendors

Data enrichment from multiple services

Event Handling

Routing – Header based and Content based

Loosely coupling

Seamless/smooth connectivity

WebSphere Message Broker (WMB )


IBM Integration Bus (WebSphere Message Broker) is an enterprise service bus (ESB) providing connectivity and universal data transformation for service-oriented architecture (SOA) and non-SOA environments

Process Server / Process Manager BPEL Engine / Service Engine

Server for executing BPEL

Process orchestration engine / Service Orchestration

Follows standards such as BPEL, XML, XSLT, XPath, JMS, JCA

Runs on top of Application server

Layers on top of SOA, SCA


Process Server / Process Manager (Contd..)

Process Design using Business Process Management Notation (BPMN) and convert into BPEL component notations for Model Driven Development

ESB Vs. Process Server - Which should you use?


If the requirement is data-centric, an ESB is the clear choice

If the requirement is process-centric, BPEL is the clear choice

• ESB is designed to be able to handle large volumes of messages

• When the requirements clearly call for message processing, an ESB is going to have several advantages

• If the requirements call for one of the basic ESB functions, such as message routing, transformation or protocol mediation, an ESB would be the clear choice.

• Should not use an ESB when state is required

• Should not include business logic in ESB

• The main strength of a BPEL engine is the ability to orchestrate business process

• Ability to handle Human Task and Business Rules

• Ability to have a long-running business process where state is maintained

• WS-BPEL can handle more complex logic including business logic.

• Should not use BPEL for handling large volume of messages
