OASIS Ramps Up SDO Efforts for SOAs
11/19/2007
Jason Bloomberg, senior analyst at ZapThink, noted in an interview that SCA supports C++ and Python, but lacks a .NET implementation. He added that both SCI and JBI will be "marginally helpful" to architects. After all, the focus of architects is not on component architecture, but on service architecture, so architects aren't typically thinking about Java or .NET frameworks, he explained.
Bloomberg described SCA as a way for some vendors to coalesce on the component structure in their products, but "SCA and JBI are mostly about vendor politics and hype," according to ZapThink's Web site.
OASIS is planning a series of four free Webinars to provide more information on SCA, beginning on Dec. 10. For more information, go here.
