Service Layer Architecture

This topic discusses the salient features of Service Layer design.

Salient Features of Service Layer Design

• Faster and easy Integration with multiple applications

• Light weight design to provide scalability

• Allows users to perform CRUD and search operations on OIPA entity resources

• Lighter payload

• Self discoverable

• Real-time data exchange

• Provides security to data

• Enables mobile integration

System Architecture

The following diagram illustrates the Service Layer system architecture in terms of its interactions.

OIPA REST Services Application

The Service Layer application is implemented as a multi-tier J2EE-based server-side application. The application can be deployed as a standalone component and can scale independently. The application supports delegated security model for authentication and endpoint authorization.

The following diagram illustrates the OIPA REST services application architecture.
