RE: [soa-rm] RE: Service definition at nauseum

Colleagues,

 

Now that some of the message traffic has settled, here’s another update to the proposed SOA service definition that should be closer to the mark while allowing for a little wiggle room.

 

A service (in the context of SOA) is a capability offered by a provider for a consumer where access is provided using a prescribed interface that abstracts (or hides) the implementation details of the capability, and is exercised consistent with the contracts and policies as specified by its description.

 

Will follow up the threads after the weekend.

 

Regards...
