Simple question regarding switchyard and jsf integration

[ribeirojc]

Hi,

I'm studying switchyard, and I have this question about implementing switchyard services:

We have 2 projects;

One project is web based with jsf;

The second project is a switchyard project with enterprise services (bean and bpm)

My question is, what is the best approach to integrate the jsf application with the switchyard services? By webServices, by remote invoke?

If both apps are deployed to the same server, you can use the SCA binding to enable in-process communication between the two.  This would look something like a combo of

https://github.com/jboss-switchyard/quickstarts/tree/master/demos/orders

and

https://github.com/jboss-switchyard/quickstarts/tree/master/ear-deployment

If you see the need for scaling out the web app separate from the business services, then you would deploy as separate applications and wire together with binding.sca (clustering enabled) or through another gateway binding (e.g. SOAP, JMS, etc.).
