With Eclipse Swordfish (SOA Runtime Framework) and STP (SOA Tooling Platform) today Eclipse delivers key SOA components for infrastructure developers, but no coherent integrated SOA platform for the users like application developers. “Eclipse SOA” is an initiative by SOPERA to deliver such a coherent and integrated SOA platform within Eclipse. Part of the scope of this initiative is to provide a new service registry/repository, to integrate process orchestration engines, and to provide integration between Swordfish and STP. “Eclipse Galileo” will be a first major milestone towards “Eclipse SOA”.

8. Is SOA dead? “ They were too wrapped up in silly technology debates (e.g., “what’s the best ESB?” or “WS-* vs. REST”), and they missed the important stuff: architecture and services.” “ SOA is not simply a matter of deploying new technology and building service interfaces to existing applications; it requires redesign of the application portfolio.” http://apsblog.burtongroup.com/2009/01/soa-is-dead-long-live-services.html Blog by Anne Thomas Manes/Burton Group

9. The problem to solve is a very fundamental one – reduction of the integration complexity High complexity (e.g. through redundancies) reduces speed of change and drives cost of change Elimination of redundancies reduces complexity

10. Overpromising marketing of SOA venders damages SOA’s reputation in the market Myths by vendors Reality SOA reduces IT costs There is no business case for SOA based on IT cost reduction. The business case for SOA must come through additional business value SOA is a new technology that drives business agility in IT An increase in business agility can be achieved through elimination of redundancies in functionality and data (i.e. complexity reduction). SOA is a methodology and governance approach to eliminate these redundancies. The SOA customer may become frustrated if they just follow the myths
