Business Process Execution Language (BPEL, aka WS-BPEL) has become the de-facto standard for orchestrating services in SOA composite applications. BPEL reduces the gap between business requirements and applications and allows for better alignment between business processes and underlying IT architecture. BPEL is for SOA what SQL is for databases. Therefore learning BPEL is essential for the successful adoption of SOA or the development of composite applications. Although BPEL looks simple at first sight, it hides its large potential and has many interesting and advanced features. If you can get familiar with these features - you can maximize the value of SOA.This book provides a comprehensive and detailed coverage of BPEL, one of the centerpieces of SOA. It covers basic and advanced features of BPEL 2.0 and provides several real-world examples. In addition to BPEL specification the book provides comprehensive coverage of BPEL support in Oracle SOA Suite 11g, including security, transactions, human workflow, process monitoring, automatic generation of BPEL from process models, dynamic processes, and more.This book starts with an introduction to BPEL, its role with regard to SOA and the process-oriented approach to SOA. The authors give short descriptions of the most important SOA platforms and BPEL servers—the run time environments for the execution of business processes specified in BPEL—and compare BPEL to other business process languages. The book will then move on to explain core concepts such as invoking services, synchronous and asynchronous processes, partner links, role of WSDL, variables, flows, and more.Moving ahead you will become familiar with fault handling, transaction management and compensation handling, scopes, events and event handlers, concurrent activities and links. The authors also discuss the business process lifecycle, correlation of messages, dynamic partner links, abstract business processes and mapping from BPMN to BPEL.The book presents in detail, how to use BPEL with Oracle SOA Suite 11g PS2. It explains the development of BPEL and SCA assemblies, and demonstrates different approaches with some practical examples. It addresses security, transaction handling, and human workflow. Then, the book addresses entity variables, notification services, fault management framework, and business events in BPEL. It provides exhaustive coverage of monitoring BPEL processes and developing dashboards with Oracle BAM. It explains how to use BPEL processes with Oracle Service Bus and Oracle Service Registry. Using examples, the book also demonstrates how to transform business process models in BPMN (using Business Modeler) to BPEL, how to achieve round-tripping using BPA Suite and BPM Suite, and how to use Oracle Enterprise Repository to govern BPEL processes. The book also covers the complete BPM lifecycle from modeling through implementation, execution, monitoring, and optimization and presents advanced, real-world examples.
Wydajność i optymalizacja kodu. Istota dynamiki działania oprogramowania
Mimo że dysponujemy coraz szybszym i wydajniejszym sprzętem, oprogramowaniu wciąż stawia się wyśrubowane wymagania: musi działać błyskawicznie i niezawodnie. Nieraz od jakości pracy systemu zależy bardzo dużo, nawet bezpieczeństwo i życie człowieka. Eliminacja źródłowych przyczyn problemów wydajnościowych jest jednak niezwykle trudnym zadaniem. Wymaga wiedzy o działaniu sprzętu, interakcjach między komponentami systemu, a także wysokiej klasy umiejętności programistycznych. Ta książka jest przeznaczona dla programistów i osób zaawansowanych w nauce programowania. Dzięki niej nauczysz się uwzględniać w projektach narzędzia do obserwacji pracy kodu i analizować uzyskane dzięki nim dane o wydajności. Dowiesz się też, jak na podstawie takiego wnioskowania uzyskiwać znaczną poprawę w szybkości przetwarzania powolnych operacji. Prezentowane treści zilustrowano przykładami i ćwiczeniami w języku C lub C++ w systemie Linux. Materiał zawarty w książce to trzy główne zagadnienia: pomiary, obserwacje, a także wnioskowanie i nanoszenie poprawek w kodzie. Wartościową częścią książki jest omówienie procesu budowy niskokosztowego narzędzia do obserwacji KUtrace i jego zastosowania we wdrażaniu wyrafinowanych rozwiązań programistycznych. W ten sposób można u źródła usuwać przyczyny problemów z wydajnością kodu. Najciekawsze zagadnienia: problemy sprzętowe: procesory, pamięci, dyski twarde, nośniki SSD i sieci korygowanie kodu wolno działającego programu przydatne mechanizmy monitorowania pracy kodu analiza danych dotyczących wydajności identyfikacja problemów, takich jak wykonywanie zbyt wielu instrukcji, powolne wykonywanie instrukcji, oczekiwanie na zasoby i blokady programowe Kod eksperta: tu każdy bit ma znaczenie!

When Alex told me he was about to write a Yii cookbook about a year ago, I was wondering how original it would be, considering the fact that there was already an online user-contributed cookbook (aka. Yii wiki). It turned out Alex produced a book that is not only full of wisdom about how to use Yii effectively, but also presented in such a systematic way that it can be taken as an essential companion book to the definitive guide to Yii. In fact, Alex has successfully intrigued the interest of every member in the Yii developer team when he asked for review and comments on his newly finished book chapters.As the founder and the lead developer of the Yii framework, I feel this book is a must-read for every Yii programmer. While this book does not describe directly the rules set by Yii, it shows how to program with Yii from a practical perspective. People who are driven by tight project schedules will find this book very handy as it gives ready-to-use solutions to many problems they may face in their projects; people who are already familiar with Yii will also find this book very informative as most problem solutions given in the book can be considered as officially recommended because they have undergone thorough review of every Yii developer team member. Alex, through this book and his active participation in the Yii project, proved himself to be a great programmer as well as a good writer.Qiang XueLead developer of the Yii frameworkYii framework is a rapidly growing PHP5 MVC framework often referred to as Rails for PHP. It has become a solid base for many exciting web applications such as Stay.com and Russia Today's meetfriends.rt.com and can be a good base for your developments.
