An excellent article and made an interesting read. But solution-wise, I felt, they were getting overly complex by mixing various levels of abstraction of...
... The basic thing I like to say is "vendor neutralization" and "protocol neutralization". You need to have a backbone that can handle anything... That's...
For the most part, I agree with you -- but SOA /= Web Services. SOA has been with us a long time: ONC, DCE, CORBA, DCOM, RMI, Jini, JXTA, etc. SOA refers to...
For those of you who want an excuse to visit Oslo (a city of good but expensive beer and fair maidens) in October have a look at the website for a WebSphere...

See also http://xml.coverpages.org/ni2004-08-31-a.html I think it's a big deal. It means that the next generation of SOAP extensions will progress at a much...
... This seems to be a different definition of SOA then I'm used to. I usually use SOA as a term to distinguish it from other distributed architectures. I...

Being from ZT, this is an interesting article, and one with which as usual many of you will doubtless find points of dissension, or at least further...
... I think it's telling that nobody's actually described SOA - even just their own view of it - in a rigorous enough manner that permits simple tests such as...
There are individual definitions of SOA that make sense, are well enunciated and make it easy to differentiate SOA from previous approaches to EAI. Naturally,...
As a result of a thread on our NGAA Group on Open Source Databases (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/n-gaa/message/240), we have set up by special request a Group...
A friend of mine is doing research into a WS-based customer- orientated service. As a preliminary exercise he is trying to recruit willing fingertips to type...
... Yes, agreed, there are some good descriptions out there. But IMO none are rigorous enough to be able to do the simple conformance test I mentioned, which...
... [shameless plug] We did talk about that in the Web Services Architecture document http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/NOTE-ws-arch-20040211/#soadefs I think the key...
... SOA ain't Web Services, either. One can build an SOA that incorporates Web Services, but I see a disturbing trend to equating a useful term that describes...
I recall using the term "service-oriented architecture" back in the early 1990's to describe DCE and CORBA-based application architectures. And if you look at...

... OK I think this might solve my initial concern with Anne's statement. I agree than any of the systems, (DCE, CORBA, DCOM, etc) *can* be used to implement...
Sean, Could you explain what you meant by the below for helping the crowd understand what SOA is not? "Whenever I see definitions that attempt to show that...
I agree Gervas. Also, I wanted to chime in into how else this could be understood: "Metadata-driven functionality. An increasing number of products are moving...
... That sounds like a recipe for a perpetual religious war to me. For example, I seem to recall a big discussion about whether a system that exposed HTTP PUT...
+1. SOA is a style of design, not a technical infrastructure. Web services technology is middleware that you can use to implement SOA-compliant applications....

... I can use a Turing machine to do my taxes. I can use an RDB as a spreadsheet. These arguments about theoretical capabilities ring hollow with my. Fact :...
