Hello Andy, There is indeed a difference between SOA and Web Services. Web Services is one way of implementing SOA. It happens that it is the standards-based approach. Sonic, WebSphere and most other products attempt to push you towards their proprietary messaging infrastructure. Although Sonic MQ, WebSphere MQ and all the other MQ's out there all share the "MQ" initials, they are non-interoperable, and not particularly portable. Using their proprietary infrastructure results in lock-in to their tools.
FusionWare has a number of technologies and services that enable you to build out a powerful set of functionality for your MultiValue system. The FusionWare Integration Server is an ESB framework that supports both proprietary MQ such as WebSphere MQ, but also allows you to build out a Web Services, standards based Services Oriented Architecture. FusionWare also provides the Java Data Adapter which allows you to access the FusionWare Direct Data Access Server (DAS) which supports both the JDA and allows you to access your multivalue data from such platforms as Sun's Java Studio Creator, Oracle JDeveloper, Microsoft .NET 1.1 or 2.0 including ASP.NET, Windows Forms, SQL Server Reporting Services (both SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005) and SQL Server Integration Services (SQL Server 2005). Microsoft technologies are accessed through our ADO.NET and Reporting Services providers. FusionWare Server provides easy connectivity to a large number of data sources and silos including (but not limited to): * Almost every MultiValue System * SQL Server * Oracle * DB2 * DB2/400 * RPG programs on iSeries FusionWare Server's approach makes it easy to build out a true SOA, where the service is abstracted from the underlying silos. FusionWare was designed from the beginning to be a great fit for mid-market companies and smaller divisions of large enterprises, that don't have the infrastructure or skills to design, deploy and build out a massive network project. FusionWare Server has been certified on all of IBM's hardware platforms and has received the Ready For Linux on eServer Mark certification. We believe that we are well suited to provide you with a state-of-the-art solution that leverages W3C and OASIS standards to give you the fastest, but longest lasting return on investment with the best TCO. We have provided a few articles to Spectrum over the last year in regards to SOA, ESB's, middleware and Security. I would gladly forward this to you if you would like. We'd love a chance to talk to you about your requirements and let you know about our products and services.

New facilities (usually) leapfrog between UniData and UniVerse, so UniData should get Web Services pretty soon. If you want a preview it shouldn't be a problem for you to get an evaluation copy of 10.2.....

Does anybody out there have any particular recommendations for implementing a service bus layer with Unidata? Recently, I've discovered a product Sonic ESB by Sonic Software (http://www.sonicsoftware.com/products/sonic_esb/index.ssp). Has anybody had any experience or know anything about this software and how it might interact with the U2 platform?
