glue’s Enterprise Service Architecture (gESA) defines glue’s best-of-breed SOA reference architecture, in line with glue’s Enterprise Architecture Method (gEAM). It focuses on defining an SOA end-state at various levels of abstraction in terms of conceptual, logical & physical architectures, to create a comprehensive set of artefacts that can be used by projects to uniformly govern the delivery of services. gESA is broken down into the 4 key architectural domains (defined by gEAM) as shown below: gESA Architectural Domains

Each domain is focused on a separate aspect of the end-state architecture, to ensure comprehensive coverage of the capabilities required to support SOA. In addition, each domain is decomposed to various levels of abstraction (Conceptual, Logical and Physical). The decomposition of each architectural domain is shown below:

gESA Architectural Domain Decomposition

By evolving a Reference Architecture in this way, glue: is able to retain a vendor neutral end-state definition (through it’s gESA Conceptual & Logical Views), while also defining detailed relationships between this and common SOA technology platforms (such as Sun JCAPS, Oracle Fusion, SAP Netweaver, webMethods Fabric and many more) as shown below:
