SOA is what large companies (IBM, BEA) are calling integration nowadays. SOA promotes what is a healthy way of separating software in modules that are decomposed by functionality. Acceptance in industry is basically the result of a cost-benefit exercise (cost coming from maintenance) even if from an software engineering standpoint, SOA (not necessarily WS) principles are obviously considered good. If WS are what interests you, from my talks to an IBM WS guru, the interest behing WS is that it becomes trivial to integrate third-party components. |
