Support for the SOA Design-Time Environment
CentraSite supports the development of SOA-based applications by enabling developers, architects and business analysts to:
Publish Web services and other reusable assets into their organization’s central registry.
Discover Web services and use them to assemble consumer applications.
Obtain detailed information about a Web service, including the list of its consumers, its technical support contacts, its disposition in the development lifecycle, usage tips and performance data.
Examine the relationships that a Web service has with other artifacts in the SOA in order to understand how a change to that service will impact the service’s sub-components and dependents.
CentraSite supports an array of design-time tools that enable developers, architects and business analysts to discover, publish and re-use SOA assets. These tools include:
CentraSite Control, a browser-based user interface provided with
CentraSite.
The CentraSite plug-in for Eclipse, also provided with
CentraSite.
UDDI V3.0-compatible registry browsers and IDEs.
Third-party design-time tools available from members of the
CentraSite Community. The
CentraSite Community is a group of independent software vendors and system integrators who develop products that integrate with
CentraSite.
