 Possibly the case, but what Joe is after is an effort to clear the water. It seems like an honorable effort from here. There are some very major and very important public efforts centered around SOA concepts. One wants them to work or for the powers that be to stop throwing the money at them. Joe and others are making a good faith effort to see to that. Facts should change perceptions. That they sometimes don't speaks to the stickiness of acts and the intensions that make one unwilling to admit a mistake has been made because then one's intensions are perceived as less than perfect. We insist on perfection from authority and that is the most irrational act of all. So "good intensions and the road to hell...". The quote you make is the defense of irrational behavior. Keep in mind, if we apply the rule of the wisdom of crowds, we accept the existence of God, UFOs, ghosts, and that Chris deserved to be kicked off American Idol. From the sublime to the silly, crowds aren't that discerning. The web has a very long and easily discernible habit of insisting on simplicity where the dangers of incompleteness are evident. Companies have a long and easily discernible habit of selling more where less is sufficient. The utility of REST vs WS is somewhere between those two spaces. It is probably not one member of that locale, but several in combination. Two points of view: 1) "For every complex problem there is a simple solution and it provably doesn't work." 2) "For every complex problem there is a set of simple solutions and they are the only things that provably work." I'd like to believe that companies are honorably disagreeing on technical issues, but I note the disparity in stock prices and can't help but wonder how much of these debates is just FUD from both sides. Joe is trying to clear it up. It is a good idea. len -----Original Message----- From: Andrzej Jan Taramina [mailto:andrzej@c...] Sent: Thursday, May 11, 2006 9:38 AM To: xml-dev@l...; Bullard, Claude L (Len) Subject: RE: Re: Major Historical SOA Milestone Today Len: > SOA isn't meaningless. I didn't say that SOA is meaningless. What I said was that many organization's perceptions of the term is that it is "yet another meaningless IT marketing buzzword.". And to see your quotes and raise you one: "Perception is reality". Multiple definitions of SOA, which is an IT Architectural concept, for different domains just muddies the water and promotes the negative perceptions, IMO.
