Re: [service-orientated-architecture] What is SOA?

[Steve Jones]

Ahhh and here is the number one thing that I think SOA is NOT about....

Technology.

REST, SOAP, WSDL, Pink Pixies, JMS, UML, BPMN, BPEL et al have NOTHING to do with Architecture they are all about the design and implementation.

Part of the Service Oriented Delivery of IT... or SOD IT.

Since REST is an architectural style based on resource abstractions
does it fulfill the first criteria.....I guess the resources are exposed
as services through a uniform interface.

What's you take
