The data consolidation pattern specification helps data and application architects make informed architectural decisions and improve decision guidelines. In this article you will see how you can apply the pattern in the SOA context. The primary business driver for the data consolidation pattern, also referred to as the data population pattern, is to gather and reconcile data from multiple data sources before this information is needed. To do so, it extracts data from one or more sources, transforms that data into the desired target format, and loads it into some persistent data target. The prepopulation of a persistent target is a key differentiator between this pattern and the data federation pattern covered in Part 1 of this series.

SOA governance is becoming a big issue. Enterprise IT groups and CIOs are creating new governance policies around SOA, enterprise architecture, software development life cycle (SDLC), and more. Learn about governance from a developer's perspective, including concerns about governance milestones, the importance of governance, and how to be more productive on a day-to-day basis. By understanding this viewpoint, you can learn how to avoid wrestling with development teams over governance issues.

The data federation pattern virtualizes data from multiple disparate information sources. The pattern creates an integrated view into distributed information without creating data redundancy while federating both structured and unstructured information. This article describes the federation of structured information (data) with a focus on the SOA context. This pattern specification helps data and application architects make informed decisions on data architecture and document decision guidelines.

The term service-oriented architecture (SOA for short) is in real danger of losing all useful meaning in a software engineering context. Why should this be? Its core premise is beautifully simple and applies to all technologies, all platforms, and all industry verticals -- Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (JEE), .Net, all variants of LAMP (the use of MySQL with Linux, Apache, and Perl, Python, or PHP), Ruby on Rails, the public sector, commercial, airlines, healthcare -- the list is almost endless. The answer: Because SOA has become a bandwagon for desperate IT sales forces trying to shore up revenues with unneeded toolkits and runtimes, and a flag of conveniences for vendors who want to give their applications a quick buzzword botox injection. Read on as Humphrey Sheil explains where SOAs fit in the JEE world, how a pragmatic SOA can add real business value, and how best to leverage SOA in your JEE application.
