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).

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...

Cloud to Cloud Application Integration

A lot of applications have integration possibilities, so do cloud applications. The question I got from a customer is whether to have a point-to-point integration with Cloud applications or to go through their ESB solution. This blog describes some considerations. Context The customer has a HRM application in which job vacancies are managed. Furthermore that system also handles the full applicant process flow. They also have another cloud application that handles the job vacancies. This application posts the jobs to social sites and other channels to promote the vacancies. Furthermore this application has some intelligence for job seekers to advice some new vacancies based on previous visits or profiles. The job vacancies need to be sent to the Vacancies application and applicant information needs to be sent to the HRM application, when a job seeker actually applies for a job. Furthermore status information about the job application is als...
