  1. Towards Total Business Integration: The XMLbus

  2. Total Business Integration Required for: • Integrated electronic business scenarios (B2B, B2C, A2B,…) • Building virtual and distributed enterprises Principal Problems: • Information exchange • Process integration • Common infrastructure

  3. Interaction between Partners • In many cases, a common runtime infrastructure does not exist(e.g. CORBA to CORBA via IIOP) Solution: • Introduction of portals who act as information gateways • Using self-describing message formats

  4. A C B Example: Virtual Enterprise = Portal

  5. A C B Example: Virtual Enterprise Information = Portal

  6. A C B Example: Virtual Enterprise Processes = Portal

  7. Interaction Technology (today) • Message technology • EDI, EDIFACT • Message Queues • RPC technology • DCE • CORBA • Web technology • XML • SOAP

  8. Interaction Technology (future) • Transparent multi-protocol communication • Intra-enterprise support • tightly coupled - IIOP • loosely coupled asynchronous - JMS • loosely coupled synchronous - HTTP/SOAP • Inter-enterprise support • loosely coupled synchronous - HTTP/SOAP • Service definition language (SDL) • UDDI for Discovery/Registration

  9. IONA XMLbus • Multi-protocol communication • Common agreement through metadata • CORBA-like invocation architecture • Plus iPortal Integration Server providing: • Routing between different protocol systems • Message transformation & adapter • Process management and control • System / process definition repositories

  10. iPortal Application Server XMLbus Orbix 2000 XML/SOAP Personality J2EE Personality CORBA Personality Adaptive Runtime Technology (ART) XMLbus: Member of the ART Product Family

  11. ART Architecture • ART microkernel: common functionality(invocation, marshaling, exceptions, …) • Additional functionality through plug-ins(transactions, security, …) • Further functionality through personalities: • Orbix 2000: CORBA, IIOP • Application Server: J2EE, EJB • XMLbus: XML/SOAP, SDL, UDDI, PE • All personalities work transparently together

  15. Summary • Total Business Integration requires a multi-protocol platform plus process management capabilities • CORBA provides powerful high-level services • XML Technology provides maximum interaction flexibility • Merging both provides best Platform
