Re: [service-orientated-architecture] WebServices to repeat CORBA's mistakes : "The Rise and Fall of CORBA"

[Anne Thomas Manes]

One factor that Tim misses is "business demand". No matter how cool a technology might be, it will never get adopted if it doesn't address a painful business problem aching to be solved.

His matrix also doesn't accommodate the idea that a disruptive innovation could potentially destroy and otherwise winning technology. (I'm hesitant to say that CORBA would ever have been a winning technology, but I don't think it would have been quite the spectacular loser that it is if J2EE and the Web hadn't happened.)
