The mission of the „Eclipse SOA“ initiative is to deliver an integrated SOA platform for developers

• Eclipse is already offering individual SOA components for infrastructure developers in the form of Eclipse Swordfish (SOA Runtime Framework) and STP (SOA Tooling Platform).

• What has been missing to date, however, is a coherent, integrated SOA platform for developing service-oriented applications.

• “Eclipse SOA” is an initiative aimed at bridging this gap. It is intended to cover things like - providing a service registry/repository, - integrating process orchestration engines, and - providing integration between Swordfish and STP.

• The initiative aims to deliver its first major milestone –

the Eclipse Galileo release.

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.”

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 redundanciesreduces complexity

Overpromising marketing of SOA venders damages SOA’s reputation in the market

Myths by vendors Reality

SOA reduces IT costsThere 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

As On-Premises, Cloud Computing requires an integration platform – an “Internet Service Bus”

Historically, the application landscape has resided in a dedicated data center
