Soa with Rest: Principles, Patterns & Constraints for Building Enterprise Solutions with Rest

i>SOA with REST "is the first comprehensive tutorial and reference for designing and building RESTful services as part of service-oriented solutions and in conjunction with service-oriented architecture (SOA). This book demonstrates that REST is not only a suitable medium for building truly service-oriented solutions, but also that the service-oriented architectural model is a necessary foundation for REST technology architectures to realize their full business potential.The authors provide thorough mapping of REST constraints and architectural goals with service-orientation principles and SOA characteristics. Using real-world examples, they show how to leverage REST's simplicity, flexibility, and low overhead without compromising the power or manageability of service-oriented solutions and architectures.This book will be valuable to IT architects, developers, and any practitioner seeking to use SOA and REST together.Topic Areas Distributed solution design with HTTP and RESTREST-based service composition architecturesREST service modeling and a service-oriented analysis process for REST service candidatesTechnical service contract notation for REST services based on a uniform contractDesigning REST service contracts with service-orientationUnderstanding REST constraints in relation to service-orientation principlesUsing hypermedia and dynamic binding within SOA and service compositionsCreating complex HTTP-based methods for enterprise solutionsAdvanced design techniques, including composition deepening, runtime logic deferral, and dynamic binding with common propertiesCross-service transactions and event-driven messaging with RESTAddressing enterprise solution concerns in relation to REST-based state managementApplying SOA design patterns to REST-based solutionsDistinguishing REST and SOA service concepts and terminologyDesigning REST architectures with SOAVersioning REST services and uniform contractsFundamental REST, SOA, and service-orientation concepts and terminologyREST constraints, REST architectural goals, and propertiesSeven new REST-inspired design patternsDefining common goals of REST and SOA
