26
Q

Describe the purpose of JSON in data exchange

A

JSON is a light-weight alternative to XML for data exchange, language independent, and easily readable by most programming languages.

27
Q

Define interoperability in the context of application systems

A

Interoperability refers to the ability of two application systems to exchange information and use the exchanged information.

28
Q

How does the service-oriented approach from the business process integration-oriented approach?

A

The service-oriented approach provides services instead of information, focusing on loose coupling and service provision.

29
Q

What is the role of XML in data exchange?

A

XML provides a common data-exchange format, although it is not memory efficient, and is supported by various middleware vendors.

30
Q

Describe the Portal-oriented approach in terms of integration and advantages

A

The Portal-oriented approach offers a single view on multiple systems through aggregation at the user interface level, providing advantages like noninvasiveness and faster realization.

31
Q

Define middleware and provide examples of types

A

Middleware acts as a bridge between different systems, with examples including application servers like JBoss and transaction-oriented TP Monitors.

32
Q

What are the key characteristics of a transaction in a TP Monitor system?

A

A transaction in a TP Monitor system must adhere to the ACID criteria: atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability, and either completes or rolls back.

33
Q

How is Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) different from B2B application integration?

A

EAI focuses on integration within an enterprise, while B2B application integration occurs between different enterprises.

49
Q

How does Message-Oriented Middleware (MOM) differ from RPC?

A

MOM is asynchronous, meaning messages are queued, while RPC is synchronous.

50
Q

Describe the advantages of Message-Oriented Middleware (MOM) mentioned in the content.
