SOA and Agile a good match?

Everytime when I see efforts in trying to implement a SOA within an enterprise you see the gap stays between the IT department and the business. It is very hard to sell SOA to the business, even if the concept of Services is close to the mindset of the business.
So can Agile development be a good approach?


I mean Agile has Customer collaboration as one of its key principles in its Manifesto. I see a lot of big project contracts made which are stopped or constantly changing, so why not collaborate more with the customer (business) and establishing the Services together?!
This will perhaps change the gap, and the Agile approach is not only for user interface design as I also hear a lot. Why not for integrating systems and implementing business processes? These processes can also be broken down in small peaces.
And why should the business be in different work locations as the IT department?
So I think that the Agile approach can be a good way to bringing the business and IT together.

OSB 10gR3 and SWA and MTOM

This blog is about using soap with attachments and the use of MTOM within the OSB (10gR3). A service is created that accepts a soap with attachment (DocumentService) and translates it to a service that accepts a binary element. MTOM is used for performance reasons for the second. Some notes: * For the use of attachments you need RPC-style document instead of the usual document-style. This due to the fact that the document-style limits a message to a single . * A service can not have both SWA and MTOM within OSB. First a WSDL is setup for the DocumentService: The $attachments variable holds the attachments and the body holds the attachment data. Also other data is stored within the attachment element (see h

Book review: Data Management at Scale (Piethein Strengholt)

 This blog is a review of the book "Data Management at Scale (See also at bol.com ) Data Management is a hot topic nowadays and this book does a fantastic job at adding value to this topic. It is a must read and one of the few technical books I finished reading in a weekend. The book gives a fantastic overview on how to implement a Data Mesh data architecture. The Data Mesh concept is explained by Martin Fowler here . The book is a good mix between conceptual and implementation architecture level. It gives a lot of examples of how this architecture at scale can work, for both small and big companies. It is practical and I used it to implement it at one of my customers. The book describes an architecture in which the focus is on the DIAL (Data- and Integration Access Layer).  On a high level the book covers the following topics: The key principles for data management at scale - Domain-Driven Design  - Domain Data Stores - Meta data management Ready Data Store The concept of servin
