Biztalk 2006 R2 First look

As most of the organizations continue to move toward a service-oriented world, for effective business processes that unite disparate systems into a coherent whole. from this the usefulness of Biztalk comes.

BizTalk Server connecting diverse applications, then creating, executing, and monitoring process logic that uses those applications. The objective is to help organizations create better automated business process.

• What is BizTalk doing?
  
  • Connecting applications within a single organization, commonly referred to as enterprise application integration (EAI). As more organizations move toward service-oriented architecture (SOA), the approach to doing this also becomes increasingly service-oriented.
  
  
  • Connecting applications in different organizations, typically referred to as business-to-business (B2B) integration.
  
  
  • Supporting the holistic approach to working with automated business processes that’s defined by business process management (BPM).

those are just to address the problems and challenges which BizTalk solve in my next post i will focus on each challenge and explain how BizTalk solves them.

What Is the Service Factory?
software factories represent a collection of guidance that helps architects and developers build a specific kind of application. Therefore, the Service Factory helps developers and architects build Web service applications. Web service applications are more than just the technologies that send and receive SOAP messages and expose WSDL contracts—they also include the functionality that is needed to fulfill the service's behavior. Figure below illustrates the parts of the application, and their relationship with one another, the Service Factory will help you build.

Web Service Software Factory

The Web Service Software Factory, also referred to as the Service Factory, provides a set of proven practices for building service-oriented applications. The Service Factory provides developers guidance in the form of guidance packages, reference implementations, patterns, and How-to topics. Building services is difficult because it spans many areas, including the following:

• Security
• Interoperability
• Messaging Validation
• Exception handling

The Service Factory addresses these areas. By building services with the factory, developers can concentrate on higher-value activities; this decreases the overall development time and cost, and it improves consistency and quality. This version of the Service Factory also leverages the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) included with the .NET Framework 3.0.
