Service-Oriented Architecture Case Study

Abstract

The Online Shopping System case study is a highly distributed World Wide Web–based system that provides services for purchasing items such as books or clothes. The solution uses a service-oriented architecture with multiple services; coordinator objects are used to facilitate the integration of the services. In addition, object brokers are used to provide service registration, brokering, and discovery. Services include a catalog service, an inventory service, a customer account service, a delivery order service, an email service, and a credit card authorization service.
