RE: [service-orientated-architecture] Tools for SOA

[Teresa Jones]

Michael If you're familiar with UML it might be of interest to look at a relatively new offering from a young Swiss company called E2E  - they have a 'virtual UML engine' that interprets UML for integration, and performs much of the functionality of an ESB. I'm still trying to get my head round it but its customers are very impressed with it in practice. Teresa From: Michael Poulin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 12 August 2006 12:17 To: service-orientated-architecture@yahoogroups.com Subject: [service-orientated-architecture] Tools for SOA Hi folks, I would like to ask you for an advice on the tool set for my project. We have started to build SOA solution for the firm, which works in regulated industry, very heavy on document processing/management and business information discovery/advisory; firm is geographically spread over several countries and continents. We are in the middle of collecting info about business services and processes trying to define business objects. We use UML for describing our discoveries. In the next step, we will identify tools - applications, packages, technological solutions (like ESB) - we would need in the implementation. Then, we will see how we can leverage legacy IT systems for the SOA. I am looking for your advice on which technical products we might look at (to buy) for the SOA implementation in given condition. For example, somebody suggests that rule-based solutions are very useful and s/he recommends ILog, another person recommends Tibco's service bus instead of analogous IBM product, and so on.
