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.

SOA component design: thinking about error handling

When designing components for a SOA landscape (or any multiprocess system), the primary concern is with the communication behavior of the component: how messages are passed to and from the component and in what order, what those messages are and what constitutes a valid message and what doesn’t. When the time comes to implement the [...]

Letting go: yet another traditional problem in the SOA world

Over the past few days my thoughts have been drawn to what I think is a common problem (in addition to the ones identified by Freddie van Rijswijk in his recent blog) in establishing and participating in a SOA architecture: Won’t Let Go Syndrome (WLGS).

WLGS is a problem akin to the Not Invented Here [...]

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 [...]

Should we send out a SOS for SOA?

This Post is all about laughing and not to worry to much about SOA, BPM, ROI, CEP. I came across “Greg the Architect” and his small movies underpin a lot of what i have written about lately.

If you do not see the youtube movies in this page, you have to install the flash player. [...]
