 Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has been a widely debated issue in the last few years, especially in an Enterprise context. Lately, interest has lost its impact but SOA remains a point of reference for designing information systems in this class.
As the main objective of Instant Developer is to simplify the design and creation of Enterprise applications, the right tools for SOA architectures are a must within In.de. First of all, the creation and usage of Java and .NET web services turns out to be really easy within In.de, as shown in this video.
A major advancement is represented by the so-called remote document orientation: an automated procedure which exposes via web services the business layer items created by way of In.de' ORM components.
Document Orientation (DO) also makes it possible for In.de's applications to interact with Enterprise management facilities such as SAP, BAAN or COBOL mainframe procedures, virtually without noticing! The whole connection code is included in a small general AOP service which maps In.de's business layer straight within the corresponding management system items.
However, SOA does not only stand for web services, but is also allows to create batch services and traylets to manage operations as well as the best RIA user interface applications. And all this occurs independently from the databases and languages to be used.
