Chapter 3. Creating services using Apache Tuscany
This chapter covers
- Introducing SCA
- Defining services using SCA
- Setting configuration options using SCA
In the previous two chapters, we dissected the technical underpinnings of what constitutes a service-oriented architecture, and selected a set of open source products that can be used to develop what we are calling the Open SOA Platform. Now, let’s shift gears and focus, in considerable detail, on each of the selected products. As you make your way through this chapter, you’ll notice that we place special emphasis on how to integrate the sometimes disparate technologies and how to best leverage the strengths of each. We’ll begin this journey by looking at one of the foundational technologies behind SOA: services.
