A service-oriented solution does not necessarily need to be event-oriented/event-driven nor vice versa. A particular design/solution "might" be use both of these styles. Some say that "request customer info" is an event. I understand the point of view but I believe events are more along the line of "customer info changed" or "order placed" or "inventory below threshold" or other such activity. -Rob
