Service Oriented Architecture.

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is an IT architectural style that supports the transformation of your business into a set of linked services, or repeatable business tasks, that can be accessed when needed over a network. This may be a local network, it may be the Internet, or it may be geographically and technologically diverse, combining services in New York, London, and Hong Kong as though they were all installed on your local desktop. These services can coalesce to accomplish a specific business task, enabling your business to quickly adapt to changing conditions and requirements. (Coutesy - IBM)

Find this pen in the above definition and keep it in mind throughout this blog.

This definition for SOA could be easy to understand on what it is. But, to drill down there are many technologies that are used to build an SOA platform. So, its a good idea to start off with what they are and how they are related to this Architectural style.

SOA - At one store.

This blog deals with all the SOA related information right from the basic to advanced concepts dealing with Java, Webservices, J2EE, JMS, ESB, Orchestration, Process, Services, WSDL, UDDI, BPEL, SOAP etc... As this blog progresses, I wish to add as much info as I can thereby consolidating all the scattered information about this niche technology on WWW in tutorial kinda. I do not say that I am a master in this SOA, but this is my effort to gain knowledge in this already stabilized technology and finding my road in this. I am currently working on an SOA project at Wipro Technologies, Hyderabad dealing with IBM SOA related tools WID, WPS, BPEL, Webservices.

I thereby welcome you all to my SOA blog.
