Requirements for Building Industrial Strength Web Services: the Service Broker
Overview Anybody who thinks that buying an application server (such as WebSphere or WebLogic), combined with a Web Services toolkit (like GLUE, as good as it is in this role), is sufficient for building Web Services is simply not seeing the big picture. The intent of this article is to help you cut through the hype and understand the requirements of real world Web Services by describing the Service Broker, a fundamental new type of Middleware platform that will be used to build enterprise-scale Web Services. A Service Broker is similar to a message broker but is much more flexible. It is used to make a company’s services work together and to provide a simplified interface to external systems using a variety of middleware (Corba/IIOP, Messaging, SOAP, Web Services). Companies interested in setting up Web Services will likely use a Service Broker as the backend to their Web Services protocol interfaces (UDDI, SOAP).
