Welcome

Welcome to our blog about all kind of topics that are related to software development. We blog about:

SOA, BPM, EDA, ECM and all the other buzz words. Beware some post might not be so common as you think. We are not scared to go against main stream thoughts.

Technologies like java, maven, springframework, OSGi and front end technologies and frameworks like jQuery, DWR, Flex.

Finally to make this happen we need tools and of course a Mac (well some of us do). So we blog about that as well.

They’ve made an impression with language constructs that are more high-level than those of older languages and they’ve served as vehicles for some new ideas in software development (and also for some “new” ideas, [...]

Will SOA and BPM bring the MOOSE Savings and Business Agility?

How is SOA and BPM going to improving the ability to serve and exceed quality while cut in the 30% cost of IT MOOSE? I´m convinced that SOA and BPM is NOT the answer. The discussion on ROI of SOA caused by my Blog-item SOS voor SOA andmultiple discussions with Max J. Pucher and reading [...]

SOA and the domain: how new technology should not blind you to old wisdom

A couple of things happened to me over the past few days as I was taking on a new role within a new project that caused me to ponder a bit about the role of domains and domain driven development (DDD) within the drive towards service oriented architectures (SOA). The result of these ponderings was, [...]

Service orientation within applications

Many IT projects at large companies aim to make the company “SOA-proof”. What really concerns me is that time after time software architects tend to treat “XML Web Services” as a synonym for “Service”. In this article, I want to show that SOA may also exist within a single application.

Why are web services so different from an HTML user interface?

We all know how a typical web application is usually built up. The image at the side rougly displays the different layers that are to be found in an application. Typically, the user interface layer receives HTTP requests, calls one or more methods in the Business logic layer, and responds with an HTTP message containing [...]
