Many CIOs confuse BPM with SOA, primarily because BPM, similar to SOA, involves interaction with underlying systems in the IT infrastructure. When this interaction is done in an ad-hoc manner it can result in poor design and confusion with what value an SOA offering can bring.http://tibcoblogs.com/cep/2007/06/01/cep-and-alphabet-soup-bpm-time/ The Apache Software Foundation Announces the Release of Apache Axis2C v.1.0- June 1, 2007 The Apache Software Foundations (ASF) Web Services Project today announced the release of Apache Axis2C v.1.0, the latest version of its popular Axis2 Web Service engine architecture.

Sandesha2 is an Open Source implementation of both the WSRM 1.0 and WSRM 1.1 specifications.http://pzf.fremantle.org/2007/05/getting-started-with-wsrm-and-axis2.html Creating doc-lit WSDLs that "unwrap" nicely- June 1, 2007 This article is designed to help you craft WSDL 1.1 service descriptions that work well with the available tools to generate simple client interfaces.http://pzf.fremantle.org/2007/05/handlign.html SOA and Newton's Universe- June 1, 2007 Bill de hOra and my old friend (from our Amazon days) Mike Dierken commented on my use of SOA versus "distributed systems". There was also an interest in my perspective on the CAP Conjecture. Let me spew forth some thoughts... It may be a bit unusual, but my way of thinking of "distributed systems" was the 30+ year (and still continuing) effort to make many systems look like one. Distributed transactions, quorum algorithms, RPC, synchronous request-response,...http://blogs.msdn.com/pathelland/archive/2007/05/20/soa-and-newton-s-universe.aspx How to deal with unresolved xs:schema references in WSDL- June 1, 2007 I have been thinking of writing this blog for quite sometime to the benefit of those who have been having troubles importing WSDLs that references xs:schema but do not have corresponding import for such entities. This causes wsimport tool to report error. Mark from portal team reported the same issue while importing Share Point services and also WSIT and other users have reported the similar problems.http://weblogs.java.net/blog/vivekp/archive/2007/05/how_to_deal_wit_1.html Bringing SOA to Life: A New Danish Infrastructure- June 1, 2007 In this presentation, Mikkel Hippe Brun, Chief Consultant at Danish National IT and Telecom Agency, introduces Denmark's national Service Oriented Infrastructure, which is based on a number of replicated UDDI registries and interoperability profiles based on the WS-architecture and the UBL standard.

I've come to the opposite conclusion after six weeks back in the web services world. The WS technologies are taking hold, deep down in the infrastructure, doing the mundane but mission critical work for which they were designed.http://blogs.msdn.com/mikechampion/archive/2007/05/21/ws-and-the-hype-cycle.aspx |
