For the creation of SOA systems, a service platform uses and supports the following technologies:
- Fundamental technologies
- With regard to data format, a service platform uses the XML format, which has a strong affinity with Web Services. Also, since it uses Java as the base in the systems that are set up, portability between platforms is ensured.
- Usable services
- Systems that are set up using a service platform support Web Services, SessionBean, and MDB as usable services.
- Development environment windows
- The development environment windows use Eclipse. The functions you wish to use in a service platform can be used by installing plug-ins on Eclipse.
- Descriptive language for business processes
- BPEL is used for business process descriptions. A service platform stores business processes that you define using windows as BPEL descriptions.
By using these standard technologies, a service platform allows you to set up general-purpose systems with high availability.
Since a service platform lets you use existing resources more effectively in developing a system, you can reduce the costs involved in introducing new technologies.
