Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a design approach that enables software applications to communicate and share data through reusable services. Commonly applied in online banking, SOA comprises components such as application frontends, services, service repositories, service buses, contracts, implementations, interfaces, business logic, and data. This architecture promotes efficiency and consistency in software development by encapsulating business rules within services.

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a design approach that allows


different software applications to communicate and share data with each
other over a network. In SOA, software components (called services) are
created to perform specific functions and can be reused across different
applications.

Application:

A common application of SOA is in online banking systems. For


example, a bank might have separate services for checking account
balances, transferring money, and paying bills. Each of these services can
be accessed by different applications (like a mobile app or a website)
without needing to know the details of how each service is implemented.

Components of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)

Application Frontend

The user interface of an application that allows users to interact with the
services. For example, a mobile app or a web portal.

Service

A self-contained function that performs a specific task, such as retrieving


customer information or processing a payment.

Service Repository

A centralized storage location where all available services are


documented and can be accessed by developers. It acts like a library of
services.

Service Bus

A communication layer that facilitates the interaction between different


services. It helps in routing messages and ensuring that services can
communicate effectively.
Contract

A formal agreement that defines how a service can be used, including the
inputs it requires and the outputs it provides. It acts as a guideline for
developers.

Implementation

The actual code and logic that make up a service. This is where the
functionality of the service is developed.

Interface

The part of a service that defines how other applications can interact with
it. It specifies the methods and data formats that can be used.

Business Logic

The rules and processes that dictate how a business operates. In SOA, this
logic is often encapsulated within services to ensure consistency and
reusability.

Data

The information that services use and manipulate. This can include user
data, transaction records, and other relevant information needed for the
services to function.
