Carnets de BordA weblog about Service Oriented, Process Centric, Model Driven Programming ModelsREST Answer to my Letter- May 18, 2008 I have spent an extensive amount of time on the REST vs WS- debate since 2003. Stefan and I were already arguing back then (I was also arguing with Jim and Savas on SSDL). So you can imagine my excitement when Stefan, Teo and Subbu replied to my open letter. I wrote this letter after reading Roy's comment 10740 on the REST yahoo board. In this letter, I asked Stefan, Teo and Subbu to clarify how the "actions" from order management service were...http://www.ebpml.org/blog/90.htm SOA BEA's Epitaph- May 10, 2008 Stu is arguably one of the brightest and most knowledgeable person I know. He published BEA's epitaph a couple days ago. I too remember the "Tanga" days and I have also been quite privileged to experience an era that started in 1995 (when the first application server was released, NeXT's webObjects) till now. IMHO, BEA's failure is not just BEA's failure, it goes far beyond BEA, it represents the failure of the industry at large -including OSS- to create..http://www.ebpml.org/blog/88.htm REST Answer to my Open Letter- May 9, 2008 Stefan and Subbu have kindly offered to help me understand how REST can be used to manage the lifecycle of resources. So let's go back to where we were last November and if it is ok with you, here is the example that we could pick (I don't think there is anything particular to this example, and if you'd like you could pick any other one). This is the beginning of a job application lifecycle. We could focus on implementing the "RejectApplication"...http://www.ebpml.org/blog/87.htm REST Open Letter to the (other) REST community- May 8, 2008 I know it is far easier to tell me that "You don't understand" than to have an intelligent discussion about the kind of things you dare publishing. When someone is capable of writing : The statelessness constraint isolates the client against changes on the server as it is not dependent on talking to the same server in two consecutive requests. I don't know who does not understand what. Why don't we run a scenario to validate your point Again, in...http://www.ebpml.org/blog/86.htm REST Roy's Post on REST- May 7, 2008 Subbu pointed to a really interesting post from Roy Fielding. There seems to be a common thread with most posts here. People have been busy modeling everything as a resource and now they want to know how to do everything in a PUT or DELETE instead of any of the other HTTP methods. That is wrong. REST is not limited to GET, PUT, and DELETE. Anyone who says so is just making things up as they go along. REST is limited to the client being told what to do next by.http://www.ebpml.org/blog/85.htm Other At least we know that Jerry was not the reason why Microsoft wanted to buy Yahoo...- May 5, 2008 "If they have anything new to say, we would be open. ... I am more than willing to listen." If a company is willing to give away all the cash they have in the bank to buy something that's not even worth half of it, you would think the seller would listen with both ears open. Either you want to sell or you don't, but if you want to sell, you don't let 47.5 billion walk away while creating such a chaos for your company to operate. One could think this was Microsoft's master plan all along,...http://biz.yahoo.com/rb/080505/yahoo.html?.v=10 SOA Is the REST vs WS- debate over- May 5, 2008 I wrote a summary of a great article by Olaf Zimmermann and his colleagues from IBM Research. They may have found a fair and objective way to end this silly debate.http://www.infoq.com/news/2008/05/rest-vs-ws-star SOA SOA Data Services- May 3, 2008 Eric is definitely the kind of people I like (apologies for not tracking your blog earlier). Yet when I review many SOA enterprise designs, I find that creating specific entity services are most often designed and implemented incorrectly. What many are building is simple CRUD service access to data that provides little business value and causes technical problems with data integrity, performance and tight-coupling with the underlying data..http://www.ebpml.org/blog/84.htm SOA WOAmiting- May 1, 2008 The recent movement of "so called" analysts and experts around WOA has left quite a few people a bit sickened (Jeff, Todd, Miko...) We have lived in the "transistor age" for the past 40 years, just CRUDing around. SOA is about building integrated circuits and reusing these ICs when to construct solutions. It is no surprise that some people can't make the switch, so to speak, and will find every possible way to build their solutions from.http://www.ebpml.org/blog/83.htm Other The rules of Internet Business CIRCA 2008 by Rich Barton- May 1, 2008 Barton ... offered a few bullet points on the Internet business, saying the "age of verticals has really just begun." Here are Barton's rules of the Internet. If it can be rated, it will be rated. If it can be free, it will be free. Professionals who are active players in new vertical marketplaces will win. If it can be known, it will be known. There can be no vertical marketplace without community. The digital media model rules.
