Interoperability and Integration using Web Services
More and more, I seem to be getting asked this question: 'Hey Simon, I have an existing application written in Java deployed on IBM/BEA/webMethods/Systinet version x/y/z. I'm looking to build an application using Microsoft .NET and I have a need interoperate between the two. Is it going to work?'.
Hmmm.... Interesting question. If I've had experience with the said platform, I can go someway to offer my own advice. If I've not, I may end up resorting to 'powerpoint-ing' through the answer.
This is an area that our team (Architecture Strategy) is working on today. To help kick things off, we have two live Web Casts planned for July. In these we'll be discussing some of the issues that developers are finding today, recommendations as to how to approach these, and we'll also be taking a look at the vertical perspective: For example, how interoperability and integration using Web Services applies to the healthcare, manufacturing and public sector industries.
Here are the details for the Web Casts - I hope you are able to join us!
