Alexander, why would it be so difficult to call 'former' SOA a AIA (application integration architecture) or simply Web Services?
A little problem with Anne's statement in the context of your post is that SOA had to be replaced by just Service, which is not that FAR from SOA... However, if we would have AIA and Service, it is a quite clear separation, IMO. - Michael ________________________________ From: Alexander Johannesen <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, May 27, 2009 12:12:04 AM Subject: Re: [service-orientated-architecture] Re: Anne again on SOA's Mortality On Tue, May 26, 2009 at 19:58, Hitoshi Ozawa <htshoz...@gmail. com> wrote: > However, there is a > concern that a failed project might shed a bad image on SOA or even > worse, if all the budget was used to buy and develop something that is > totally unusable and was brushed beneath the desk at the dark corner > of the room. :-) Sure, but I suspect that's more due to thinking SOA as a technology or a "right" answer or a set of methods or something you can wrap up in a box and sell. Once you get into the "SOA as a set of principles, goals and philosophies" then in reality, SOA can't fail as a unit or a connection point or a common signifier. Anne is right about "SOA is dead, long live something else that is SOA but doesn't have those connotations" , but the trick is what we're supposed to say and call it now. I still call it SOA, and then point out some technologies I use doing it, and people see the disjoint without me having to point it out, but then, I'm not *selling* SOA so I guess my approach is different from, say, a consultant. > Oh, BTW. somebody found my server, which housed my first attempt at > ESB, in a forgotten cabinet at the back of the room today.
