Services-Based Enterprise Integration Patterns Made Easy, Part 3: Web Services and Registry

Overview

Part 1 and Part 2 of this series covers the basic concepts necessary to develop services-based integration patterns. This paper, the third in the series, and the upcoming Part 4 further develop these ideas so the services-based integration patterns become full-blown services-based patterns. This paper in particular deals with the components that are together commonly referred to as Web services, which were originally designed for services that can be accessed over the Internet. One will also see that many of the Web services components can be used with services that don't use the Internet and that only require a network connection.
