In the following figure, the left side shows the tasks that you are
most likely to perform and the right side shows the tools that you use to perform
those tasks. The AirAlliance company collaborates with many partner airlines
through their web services. For designing and building web services, we'll be using
the NetBeans IDE's web service creation methods. For simplicity, all our airlines web
services are deployed as a stateless session beans.
Enterprise Application Development
[ 20 ]
Once you have the partner services ready, you will build the business processes that
interact with the partner services. Our business processes are implemented as BPEL
processes. There could be BPEL processes for each operation like Reservation BPEL
Process, Flight Information Business Process and Baggage Information Business
Process. We use the NetBeans IDE's BPEL Designer that comes with the NetBeans
Enterprise Pack for designing these processes.
When we have the business processes ready, we create JBI Modules so that they
can be deployed as a service assembly in the BPEL Engine. We use NetBeans's
Composite Application Module to build these deployable applications. Based
on the need, we might use the CASA Editor to edit the Composite Applications'
deployment descriptors. When we have the deployable enterprise application, we
deploy them to the Glassfish's BPEL Engine as a Service Assembly.
