An Introduction to Resource Oriented Architecture

Many organizations are tired of dealing with the ever-changing vendor driven SOAP specifications (WS-*) and are adopting RESTful web services. REST is based on a small set of widely-accepted standards, such as HTTP and XML and requires far fewer development steps, toolkits and execution engines than SOAP.

Resource Oriented Architecture (ROA) goes beyond RESTful web services and provides a more extensible transport-independent foundation. Furthermore, ROA pushes the integration functionality to the edge of the network (as a URI), translating into better service management and scalability.

In this session, I will review the key concepts and benefits of Resource Oriented Architecture and then present several examples using 1060 Research’s NetKernel and Apache ActiveMQ.
