SummarySOA Governance in Action is a hands-on guide for developers and technology leads who need to develop and implement policies for SOA projects. This book introduces the fundamentals of good governance, the best practices for implementing them, and how to support governance using various open source tools. You''ll follow an extensive case study that addresses the areas of service design, security, testing, and performance.About the TechnologyGovernance is a serious word for a simple idea-defining processes, roles, and expectations for a software project. It''s especially important in SOA where you have multiple stakeholders, competing requirements, and complex integration tasks. Good SOA governance blends established best practices, strong management and monitoring tools, and the flexibility to embrace new technologies and patterns.About the BookSOA Governance in Action shows developers how to apply governance concepts and implementation practices to achieve success in SOA projects. You''ll learn practical techniques like building a metadata repository using WSO2 Registry or a custom monitoring dashboard using Bamos BAM. You''ll also explore other supporting tools, such as using OpenAM, to implement security-related policies. Along the way, you''ll explore the nuances of writing policies that work for the project and click with your corporate culture.Written for business application developers. Familiarity with Java and BPMN is helpful but not required. Purchase of the print book comes with an offer of a free PDF, ePub, and Kindle eBook from Manning. Also available is all code from the book. What''s InsideService design, security, testing, and performanceSelf documenting services, auditing, and running in a cloud.Supporting best practices with open source toolsExamples using both REST and WS-*========================================​==========

APPENDIX

Installing tools, libraries, and frameworks

Most modern business systems include independent applications that exchange information with each other-a technique usually called enterprise integration. An architectural approach called the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) offers developers a way to handle the messages between those independent applications without creating a lot of custom code. While commercial ESB solutions can be quite expensive to implement and maintain, a set of high-quality open source ESB tools offer the same functionality at a substantially lower cost.Open Source ESBs in Action shows you how to implement and use two open source ESB implementations: Mule and ServiceMix. The authors introduce you to these freely-available ESB tools and present practical examples of how to use them in real-world scenarios. You will learn how the various features of an ESB such as transformation, routing, security, connectivity and more can be implemented using Mule and ServiceMix. You will also learn how to solve common enterprise integration problems using a structured approach.Beyond simply learning how Mule and Service Mix work, you''ll learn the core techniques of ESB implementation such as Process Choreography, or the implementation of complex business processes through an ESB, and Service Orchestration, or exposing a set of services as a single service. The book shows you the fundamentals of ESB-based event processing and Quality of Service concerns like security, reliable delivery, and transaction management.Working in integration projects is exciting, with new technologies and paradigms arriving every day. Open Source technologies like Mule and ServiceMix both offer lower-cost solutions and a higher degree of innovation than commercial ESB implementations. Open Source ESBs in Action will help you master ESB-driven integration techniques quickly and will provide you with knowledge you need to work effectively with Mule and ServiceMix. Purchase of the print book comes with an offer of a free PDF, ePub, and Kindle eBook from Manning. Also available is all code from the book.

Three.js makes creating 3D computer graphics on a web browser a piece of proverbial cake, and this practical tutorial makes it easier still. All you need to know is basic JavaScript and HTML.Key FeaturesCreate and animate beautiful 3D graphics directly in the browser using JavaScript without the need to learn WebGLLearn how to enhance your 3D graphics with light sources, shadows, and advanced materials and texturesEach subject is explained using extensive examples that you can directly use and adapt for your own purposesBook DescriptionThree.js is a JavaScript 3D library that offers a wide range of features for creating and displaying stunning 3D computer graphics on a web browser in an intuitive manner using JavaScript without having to deal with the complexity of a WebGL low-level API. Even though WebGL makes it possible to create 3D graphics in the browser without having to use plugins, programming WebGL, however, is hard and complex.
