Although it's not exactly the same I compare ebXML with Java Messaging
Service (JMS), UDDI with JNDI (witch can be used to acesss LDAP as well) and
SOAP with RMI. (A few open JMS providers are implemend with RMI.) JMS
defines a subset of SQL 92 as QL of Messages. This could be implemend with
XQL for XML Messages as well. Whereas ebXML is an open standard and will be
supported by Java XML Messaging (JaXM), Microsoft selling Biztalk which is
an SOAP based but propritary XML Messaging Specifiaction. This will
outperform the feature of XML messaging (an compatilbe way of data
exchange). CORBA's IIOP failded at this as well, and hopefully Microsoft
will fail with its Biztalk stuff. But that isn't realistic. Java and XML are
great enemies for M$ and it's new platformcentric .NET Strategy. It's the
same as every few years I think. RMI vs RCP, IIOP vs JRMP vs Win2k RCP, EBJ
vs COM+, COM+ vs CORBA components, EBJ vs CORBA components, Biztalk vs
ebXML, Linux vs Windows, OpenSource vs Comerical Software, Dark Vader vs
Luke Skywalker, Foederation vs Dominon, Borg vs Species 8472 and so on.
I guess theres never a real standard.
