Introduction to JOLIE

JOLIE (or Jolie) is the first full-fledged programming language based upon the service-oriented programming paradigm; in Jolie everything is a service. You can use Jolie to create new services from scratch and/or compose existing ones.

Jolie is developed in Java and allows you to integrate it withing your service applications. By exploiting the Jolie programming API you can create your own service in Java (a JavaService) and invoke it within your Jolie applications.

SOAs are usually composed by high numbers of services. As such, the ability to offer a single communication endpoint for accessing multiple services can be very important in the design of your architecture. Jolie offers the possibility to run multiple services inside the same Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and to create powerful communication endpoints that link to a set of services.
