[service-orientated-architecture] SOA Versioning Issues and Issues around mgmt. of multiple versions of same service.

[Sarode, Prashant]

Hi, I am trying to gather some intelligence around Versioning Problems in conjunction to SOA. In particular our SOA road is primarily based on Web Services and interested to know how people are solving the Versioning problem today.   In terms of Versioning of Service I have several questions in mind. Most organization start small on their SOA journey with some initial pilot services. But soon these small services gain popularity and now come the Versioning Issues. -Some clients want old API of service but new clients want tweak to the same API. -Some clients want altogether new/additional API to the service. -Some clients are interested few New API’s but few old ones to. -Some clients would want same API but would want to come over SSL secure rpc binding while others want non-secure doc lit binding. Also, there are some -How to relay the new version availability? -How many Endpoints to support for more or less same business service? -How to manage-monitor multiple end points for different versions?   What are some of the best practices around Versioning? How are people solving it today and what are the lessons learned for future?   Prashant Sarode Director SOA-Web Services Investors Bank & Trust Co.
