XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is an emerging technology that is extensively used in enterprise application integration and e-business collaborations. This paper presents an integrated case, SportsStuff.com (SSC), that exposes students to “native” XML technologies (those technologies that are based on the XML specification) and illustrates how they can support innovative e-business applications. First, the case introduces three native XML technologies that facilitate data exchange between networked applications: XML documents, XML Schema, and XSLT. Second, the case explores the uses of these technologies in an e-business collaboration scenario.

SOA or service-oriented architecture is an innovative approach to enterprise application integration that increases the benefits of EAI by means of standardizing the application interfaces. This chapter explores the gradual evolution of SOA through various phases and highlights some of the approaches and best practices that have evolved out of real-world implementations in regional retail banks. Starting from a step-by-step approach to embrace SOA, the chapter details some typical challenges that creep up as the usage of the SOA platform becomes more and more mature. Also, certain tips and techniques that will help the institutions maximize the benefits of enterprise-wide SOA are discussed.
