May I wish you all a Happy, Prosperous and Technically and Emotionally Fulfilling New Year? I look forward to this Group continuing to be at the forefront of ...
... I suppose there's two kinds of agents to consider (not just for RESTful apps of course); ones which act (clients) and ones which react (servers). Clients...
... Sure, but as I say, that's no different than any other situation. The app might be hardcoded to include a URI, for example, just as might be hardcoded to...

A healthy bit of scepticism on your part there, Anne. Sometimes delusions can be useful until the the much vaunted benefits stemming from SOA are summoned...
I'll say odds on that it means "We've wacked a Web Service on something" or "We bought some software with an SOA badge and used it on a project". Certainly my...
You may be surprised. I did some brief high-level consulting for Ameriquest Mortgage in California approximately two years ago and they had built their own...
Hopefully, there was a qualifier around this question (if it even was one question) that also asked, "Do you have formal goals for your SOA efforts?" and "Have...
So what are your five maturity levels for SOA, Anne? I don't know that I've seen any writeups from Burton Group on them. If it's something you can share with...
I think every organization should develop its own customized maturity model that addresses the specific needs of the organization. Personally I prefer to use a...
<<One of the biggest differentiators between SOA and architectures that have come before it is that the central concept of "service" can be defined along a...
I tend to agree with you, Anne. I think it is very difficult to try to collapse everything to a simple set of five levels. That being said, it is important...
I agree with the concept of a customized maturity model. I think the rigors of CMM compliance are unnecessary and sometimes counterproductive. However, it is...

Given the ongoing REST debates we have on the list, I found this article by Steve a rather enjoyable and educational read. Very much appreciated! I know that...
The problem I have with all these structures on Maturity is that they take a linear view and an average talent view. What I mean by this is that if I had a...

I'm really glad you are involved in this too, Steve. I know you have been in the trenches many times and pioneered much of this technology. Your insight is...

+1, its a complete myth as well that app servers didn't retain state, they did and pretty much always in the database. Every interaction pretty much is...
Agreed. And the state should be managed as a separate entity from the services that implement the various process steps. But you need to recognize that Cape...
