do you really need SCA for SOA?

Jeff,

I got JAX-WS with new flexibility (..async programming model, policy sets etc) and a little bit of complexity ;-) but then why do I really need SCA for SOA?

Thanks

Obviously, I think you can build services using a variety of frameworks, and so SCA is certainly not a requirement for SOA. That said, I think SCA has some very compelling features as it relates to assembling services through reusable components; supports a broad-range of bindings so that services can be exposed over SOAP, REST, JMS, ESB, RMI, RSS/ATOM, JSON etc; and has a powerful distributed deployment model. I don't think SCA is all that complicated to get started with, and hopefully my book addresses that through its case studies and examples.

"soa", please check your private messages regarding an important administrative matter.

Thank you.

Not really, the Spring framework has the capabilities that superceed Service Component Architecture and Service Data Object
