I agree with you completely on the Java EE issue. It's interesting that Microsoft appears to be equating the fall of EE with the end of Java, though - I...
Spring is pretty confusing in its own right. Not quite as complex as Java EE, but still a lot more complex than .NET. What frameworks do other people like? ...
Hi Anne, Actually, Spring and its close cousins like Pico are really dead simple. Fundamentally they're about tying components together without any code. To...

I agree Dan. For the same reason, I think it is unappropriate to state that Java EE is not adequate or too bloated as a SOA "platform". In some cases, it makes...
I think the reason the open source community hasn't matched .NET in terms of ease of use it that the target audiences are different. (At least from the...

Spring promotes object-centric view on the world while SOA service (in Java or in C#) is ia set of processes and procedures. Since JavaEE 5 practicaly...
We've used SCA a bit, and I have to say I like it. Its going to be interesting how folks like SAP and Oracle link SCA (which IMO is good for developers) with...
I personally favor using a layered approach using an ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) like Mule (http://mule.codehaus.org). For IDE, I could use Eclipse. Next...
Even though Jini doesn't help a lot it also doesn't get in the way. If you wanted to ship documents around they don't have to be XML. They could be an ...

Hi Keith, Interesting views - two things maybe worth some thought: (1) If, as you say, Eclipse is the next framework of choice, it surely will follow the same...

Steve: Question for you. How does SCA differ from simply applying BPEL, or probably even better, WS-CDL, to compose Services and then letting each Service...
