STP/IM Component/STP Use Cases
< STP | IM Component
| Stakeholder | Development process discipline | Description | Tools used | Possible integration scenarios |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Business Analyst | Business Modeling, Analysis | Creates a model representing the current (or possibly future) state of a business process, independent from any technological implementation details. It will serve as a blueprint for SOA solution architects and developers. | STP/BPMN Component | STP/IM Component/Transformation Approaches/From BPMN |
| Process managers, architects and developers | Process management: execution and control (monitoring) | Makes sure the business processes execute properly as specified by the business analyst. | Eclipse BPEL Project | |
| SOA Architect | SOA Analysis and Design | Designs a solution according to the models built by the business analyst. Typically follows a SOA methodology to come up with a model of services and service components, either top-down, bottom-up or middle-out. Uses SCA as a standard to model this. | STP/SCA Component | STP/IM Component/Transformation Approaches/From SCA |
| SOA Developer | SOA Development | Implements the specified components in the SOA design. Create Services based on annotated Java code (JAX-WS). Create Service definitions following a contract-first (WSDL-first) approach | STP/SVC Component(WSDL-first)
| WTP(Java-first) |
|
| SOA Architects and developers | SOA Governance | Design and implement the defined SOA policies; Create WS-Policy documents to specify non-functional requirements and capabilities of a service. | STP/Policy_Component | |
| SOA System integrators | SOA Enterprise Integration | Define how components of heterogeneous technologies integrate to each other | STP/EID_Component | |
| SOA architects, developers and configuration managers | SOA configuration, assembly, deployment, monitoring, and management | Manage the deployment of SOA components. Deploy Service implementations into Swordfish runtime. | STP/SOAS_Component | Eclipse Swordfish SOA Runtime Framework Project |
| All | SOA execution and runtime | Take all the development artifacts created with STP tools to a production environment | Eclipse Swordfish SOA Runtime Framework Project | STP/SOAS_Component |
An EclipseCon 2008 presentation by Sopera also identified the SOA tooling use cases across the SOA development lifecycle: An integrated approach to SOA tooling for ServiceMix and other platforms.
