Friggin' Amen to that! I realise that there's a dream of having fully
automatic systems that from when you switch them on, they talk to
eachother and create prosperous business all by themselves, but I'm a
bit stumped to why some believe this is what the WS-* stack is all
about. What exactly is it in terms of automata the WS-* gives us?
Can we now change this around? Steve, can you explain to us what you
*gain* by going the other way? For example, how easy is it for you to
GET a resource? How easy is it to PUT an invoice in? How easy is it
for you to have an encrypted message put on a stack three layers deep
in someone's SOA?
