Vikas, what would be an example of "business logic that assumes a type of container and its services" and why it is not a SOA?
Here is another interesting question: "The question of who enforces the business logic and who defines it is something that we may want to discuss on this forum." I would be surprised if a business logic were defined by anybody else but the business. Then, the business logic is inforced by the business as well because it is the business who pays money for the logic implementation. If you ask how enforcement is applied and whom to, yes, I gusess, it is an IT among others. That is, the question is how IT, in particular, governs the business logic enforcement. Am I correct? - Michael Vikas Deolaliker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Why is the definition important? The intent of SOA is quite well understood, IMHO, i.e. de-containerize business logic. If I write business logic that assumes a type of container and its services, I am not doing SOA. The question of who enforces the business logic and who defines it is something that we may want to discuss on this forum.
