Editorial Reviews:
Without the right controls to govern SOA development, the right set of tools to build SOA, and the right support of exciting new protocols and patterns, your SOA efforts can result in software that delivers only 1.5 transactions per second (TPS) on expensive modern servers. This is a disaster enterprises, organizations, or institutions avoid by using Frank Cohen's FastSOA patterns, test methodology, and architecture.
In FastSOA you will learn how to apply native XML technology to SOA for:
* Data mediation using mid-tier data and service caching to handle the explosion of new schemas and new devices in an ever changing environment
* Data aggregation in the SOA middle-tier for off-line browsing, service acceleration through mid-tier caching and transformation, and bandwidth-needs reduction
* Increased service and application scalability and performance
* Successful evaluations of application server, XML parser, relational and native XML database, Enterprise Service Bus, Business Integration server, workflow server, and Web Service tools for performance, scalability, and developer productivity
* Improved service governance through XML persistence in SOA registries and repositories
* Composite data services (CDS) to provide maximum reuse of software components and data, accelerate performance, and reduce development time and maintenance in your SOA
About the author
Frank Cohen is the "go to" guy when enterprises need to build, test, and solve performance and scalability problems in complex interoperating information systems. Frank's articles appear on IBM developerWorks, and he is author of Java Testing and Design: From Unit Tests to Automated Web Tests. He is the principal maintainer of the popular TestMaker open-source test utility and framework, and Director of Solutions Engineering at Raining Data, publisher of the TigerLogic XQuery engine and native XML database.

Customer Reviews:
 Don't waste your money - this book is very poorly written.
I have never read a technical book which is so poorly written. The author would be well-served by taking an English Grammar course. The Publisher should fire the editor. Mr. Cohen's expertise notwithstanding, this book is frought with run-on sentences, choppy sentences, and a distracting overuse of 'For instance'. The manuscript for this book would have received an 'F' in a collegiate freshman english course. It is just plain difficult to read, as the phrasing is really bad.  Excellent book, emphasis on testing
If there is one lesson from this excellent book, it is to test, test, and test again. That is the author`s solution to sucessful SOA deployments, and his point probably applies to all application development.
