using ada in a service-ooriented architecture
One of the latest trends in software architecture is known as a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). This paper describes SOA briefly and one of the enabling technologies of SOA, namely the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). The paper goes on to describe two ways in which Ada applications can be built as services in a SOA. The first method is to build the Ada code as a Dynamically Linked Library (DLL) and wrap it in Java code. The second method is to use the Ada Web Server (AWS) and build a direct interface to the Ada code that is needed to plug into the ESB.
