  1. WS-BusinessActivity using WS-Coordination A bare-bone implementation Presented by: Krishnan Narayanan Guided by: Dr. Bina Ramamurthy Course: CSE 622, Spring 2006

  2. Outline • Motivation & Approach • Overview of protocols • System Design • Applications • Demo along the way!

  3. Motivation • Build a working model of WS-BA protocol on top of which applications can be built – more of an academic test bed • Gain practical experience in implementing protocols • Understand the intricacies involved in translating standards into working model – may be this will help us appreciate the part played by vendor dependant design?

  4. What is & What is NOT? • Design compliant with the standards & specification • Not STRICT adherence to the semantics of WS suite of protocols (WS-Policy, WS-Addressing, WS-Security) • Not implemented as a web service – guess why? • Not a complete implementation – basic framework is ready. Future extensions needed/possible. • Only one protocol – Automic Outcome/BAWithParticipantCompletion

  5. Some Technical Details… • Messages - SOAP with Attachments API for Java • Messaging – SOAP/XML • Transport Protocol – HTTP • Supporting Framework – Servlet • Container Support – Apache Tomcat • Callbacks & Notifications – Thread Model

  6. WS-Coordination – a brief overview

  7. WS-BA Overview • Enables multiple business activities to work in a coordinated fashion • Uses WS-Coordination as the underlying framework • 2 different coordination types • Atomic Outcome – All participants are driven to same end state • Mixed Outcome – Each participant is attended individually • 2 different coordination protocols • Participant Completion – Participant drives the decision making • Coordinator Completion – Coordinator drives the decision making

  8. Applying WS-Coordination to WS-BA with Participant Completion

  9. Coordinator - Activation Component • Purpose: • Manages a list of activities • Design: • Implemented as a Singleton class • Details: • Maintains a static list of on-going Activities • Generate and assigns unique id for the activity (callbackRef) CoordinationContextResponse createCoordinationContext(CoordinationContextRequest)

  10. Coordinator - Registration Component • Registers participant into an active “Activity” • Performs validation by interacting with Activation manager • Generate a Unique ID for the Participant & add it to the Activity list (participantRef) • No security measures in place – WS-Security • Handles the participant to the Protocol Manager RegisterResponse register(Register regRequest)

  11. Coordinator – Protocol Handler • Implements the state machine specified by the standard • Reflects Coordinator’s view of Participant state • Events specified by the standard are translated into SOAP messages • State transitions are triggered by generating appropriate event • One instance for each Participant

  12. Participant – Protocol Handler • Implements the Participant’s view of the state machine • Same as Protocol Handler employed by Coordinator – Events & States

  13. Callbacks • Why is it needed? • Events can be generated either by coordinator & participants. • How is it implemented? • Queue for managing the list of “to process” events. • Callback manager monitors the event queue and triggers callback.

  14. Pieces put together Protocol Handler Design

  15. WS-BA - Protocol Handler at work An Illustration

  16. Is the WS-BA PC Protocol State Machine Deadlock Proof? • Is there a possibility for the protocol to get deadlocked? • If so, can the nature of the Business Process play a role to avoid such a situation? • If yes, is it good or bad? State Machine

  17. Extensions & Applications • WS-Notification can be utilized to implement the callbacks for the Coordinator. • Can be integrated with BPEL to create “coordinated composition” of web services.
