This is an interesting document. It will be interesting to see the
more final version, and the various documents and such that are based
on it.
For those interested in general concepts behind an SOA this is a
great resource as it opens the definition beyond the unfortunately
often limited definition based on the web services world and provides
some useful concepts.
One of the more interesting ones, and one that we are pushing in
OFBiz, is what they liken to "delegation" in a company, and that is
(unless I'm misunderstanding it...) what I (and others, I didn't make
it up or anything) usually call the aggregation pattern. This is an
alternative to object oriented patterns that have other ways of
building up more complex logic.
In general the comparison between service oriented and object
oriented architectures is interesting. Defining a service as
accomplishing a business goal and including the definition of data
and other things related to that is a good way to put it. In other
words, it is more goal or action oriented than "object" oriented. In
other words rather than being good at modeling things, it is good at
getting business things done...
