That is the grand question! Is service enabling everything a consideration, a step in the design process, a mantra from on high, or a necessity of good practice? Are you using a software development platform where service enabling is a cost concern or a performance concern for non-remote users? If service enabling is a considerable concern in design, development and deployment, then perhaps you are not using an effective software platform for SOA, or you don't have effective software design practices in place related to your platform of choice. The importance of SOA is that it enables people to use services in ways that you haven't already constructed. Without that fabric in place, you will always be rearchitecting your applications to turn them into services. It's the small users that will probably experience the most gain, not the large scale users that you plan for... Gregg Wonderly ------------------------ Yahoo!
