We at IONA would not claim "SOA compliance" since such a thing doesn't exist and probably can't or at least shouldn't. SOA is a style of design, or an approach...
Hey guys! I know I am late to this stream but still would like to add my 1p. to it. I have not read all messages but guessed there are two major flows in the...
I wanted to get the various views that folks have on a phrase that gives me pause: "implement an SOA" or "SOA implementation." IMO, this phrase is off since an...
... I'm on the other side of the fence. If you can't implement the architecture then its not architecture is just a liberal arts major. ... Agreed, but I've...
I believe a software system can have service-oriented characteristics, regardless of how it is used. One can point to a particular attribute of a software...
the evolution of software engineering is ever increase of levels of abstraction from machine code to assembly to functional orientation to OO to SO to BP ...
Now all we need is some of the let us say more "marketing lead" organisations out there to follow suit :) What I'd like to see, not so much from infrastructure...
Frank The WSO2 ESB (and Apache Synapse) supports SMTP and JMS in addition to a non-blocking http/s implementation. The file/ftp/sftp/.. transport (supporting...
+1. Every time I see someone say "SOA implementation", "a SOA" (or "an SOA"), or "implement our SOA", I get very frustrated. SOA is not a thing. It's a design...
For the most part I agree with Michael, here, but I wanted to add one more thought to the discussion, and that is the distinction between application and...
I'm interested in hearing what tools other teams may be using - and what lessons they may have learned in developing semantic models and enterprise ontologies....
Good points you've made. Just want to ask a question to help me clarify. Should a service always have "textual description" as well as the "code". For example,...
I agree with Eric on "pure" technical ground that it's difficult to claim "SOA compliance", but as Steve pointed out, I think it's possible to have a gimmick...
<<Europa, the Eclipse Foundation's second annual train release provided downloads for 21 new and updated projects this past Friday, and featured the initial...
... This makes a big assumption that architecture is _just_ about principles. In my view this is often the problem in that architecture is so abstract that it...
... I left out a key word from my intro to the quote: "software". Brass, Clements and Kazman were explicitly referring to software architecture, not just...
... Doesn't this depend on how abstract the principles are? I agree that if one gets too abstract, then it gets to be pretty worthless. ... One thought is...
Michael and Anne, Thanks for your input as well. Also I agree with most of what Michael has written. I must agree that the "example" I put up is vague. In my...
<<Analysts practically wear themselves out saying "service-oriented architecture is something you do, not something you buy," but during last week's Burton...
It was an excellent event. Our next edition of Catalyst is in Barcelona, 22-25 October. The call for papers is open. Please contact me off-list if you're ...
... Which is where (to me) most of the time architecture doesn't apply. If its just about the software then its pretty much design rather than architecture. ...
Suhayl, I think you missed the point.I think you're mixing "service" with "web service". It's not the just the matter with GUI. If we create a service that can...
You're right Anne, SOA is not a thing. In my discussion on compliance, the thing being compared is probably best defined as a services blueprint or service...
... +1 IMHO,I think it's important to properly define a "service domain" and to create a model from which to define services. Using web services or REST is not...
