Subject: Re: [soa-rm] Microsoft SOA Reference Model


Sorry Danny,

Not only do I NOT have a link to something 
resembling a Reference Architecture, I was being 
slightly facetious. That was the intent of my 
closing statement about the need to retrofit the 
abstractions. If you look at IBM's SOA materials 
by specifying "SOA Reference Architecture" in the 
IBM search box, it consists almost entirely of 
"success stories." I suspect that if the largest 
IT vendors were challenged to produce an RA, they 
would probably develop Reference Implementations.

IBM certainly isn't alone in this myopic 
concentration on selling product at the expense 
of genuine interoperability across platforms and 
products. I could have added Sun and many other 
vendors. The point is that even if one were to 
cobble or kluge together a system such as I 
described, getting it to actually work, as in 
being functionally "interoperable," would be a 
challenge.

Cheers,
Rex
