Session Title:	SOA at Enterprise Scale: Solving Real Challenges with GlassFish ESB
Session Abstract:	This session, for developers (Web services, BPEL, JBI) and analysts with SOA experience, covers SOA in a Fortune 100 company. The large scale of the project demands a technical infrastructure that best fits the firm's needs, both technologically and in terms of TCO/ROI. The firm chose GlassFish ESB, based on a proof of concept. The session gives an impression of the project's size and the scope: It involves approximately 200 interfaces, used by 50+ interoperating business processes. The system spans many countries, with local services connected to a local ESB and global ones through a global ESB. Such a distributed ESB has special deployment considerations: Each process needs to be modifiable individually but needs different -- country-specific or global -- privileges. The company achieved this by leveraging the Java™ Business Integration (JBI) model of service units and service assemblies. Naturally, it faced challenges along the way: The session presents these and provides patterns for implementers of similar real-life projects. One example is how it measures and evaluates the coverage of business processes, based on the BPEL monitoring API. The session includes some impressive BPEL process and composite application (CASA) diagrams; performance test results; and, at the end, the code coverage evaluation. The session covers • SOA in real life, enterprise-scale integration • Challenges and proposed patterns • Using and extending open-source JBI
