- Protocol independence in a service-oriented architecture
- Designing an effective distributed software system becomes especially tricky when considering the fact that services and processes might need to interact with each other across multiple protocols.Most distributed systems encapsulate the protocol details of interprocess communication within the processes or services that use each given protocol. Either that or the...

- Create distributed services with Java's RMI-framework
- Java's remote method invocation RMI framework enables you to create virtually transparent distributed services and applications. RMI-based applications consist of Java objects making method calls to one another without regard to their location. This allows one Java object to invoke methods on another Java object residing in another virtual machine...

- Coarse-grained interfaces enable service composition in SOA
- One of the primary benefits of service-oriented architecture SOA is the ability to compose applications, processes, or more complex services from other less complex services. This activity, sometimes called service composition, allows developers to compose applications and processes using services from heterogeneous environments without regard to the details and differences...

- Take advantage of the benefits of loosely coupled Web services
- Loosely coupled components can operate independently of each other with no problems. This is an excellent fit when designing Web services, where all components are not always available.Coupling generally refers to the act of joining two things together, such as the links in a chain. But in software development, coupling...

- How does EJB encapsulate business logic?
- The J2EE platform includes a specification for a distributed component model known as Enterprise JavaBeans EJB. If you've worked with Java for a while, you probably have a basic understanding of EJB and its relationship with business logic. In this article, we'll dig a little deeper and see how EJB...

- OOP Java: A little business logic with your beans
- Traditionally, any piece of software that exposes fundamental functionality of a company has been referred to as business logic. You might define the term further as the code that implements standard services or business rules of an application for a company. Business logic is usually associated with the middle tier...

- Handling Java I/O via remote connections
- Java's socket classes enable communications across network connections, whether they're local or remote. You can easily develop client and server applications to harness these features.In "Read and write data with Java's I/O streams," we started to explore the input/output (I/O) classes, interfaces, and operations provided by the Java platform. Now,...

- Servlets offer a simple alternative to CGI development
- One powerful feature of the Java Servlet API is its ability to process form data with relative ease. Instead of scrounging around for environment variables as with traditional CGI development, you can use servlets to access form and query-string data via normal Java method calls. Let's take a look at...
