In October 2009 I posted about the announcement of the SOA Manifesto during the SOA Symposium 2009. For those of you interested, InfoQ has interviewed the original author’s and in some cases pulled in their comments on the manifesto from the web to get insight into the motivations and the process behind the initiative. The answers are gathered under the name SOA Manifesto – 4 months after. The article looks into the following subjects:
- The philosophy
- The process
- The goals

Yesterday Clemens Utschig posted a list of SOA Suite 11gR1 Patchset 2 ~ 11.1.1.3.0 (SOA) features. He says it is a non-exhaustive list. It contains features like:
- Full and complete support for BPEL 2.0 (designtime and runtime)
- Reintroduction of “BPEL domains” – that are called Partitions because there are already WebLogic Domains
- Enhancements to BPEL’s transactional behavior and audit-trail
- Full BPMN 2.0 support – part of BPM 11g which runs on top of 11g PS2 SOA core
Update: for the Java developer
In an additional post the features for the Java developer were announced. These include:
- Support for
interface.java as a first class citizen next to interface.wsdl
- Full support for Spring as component implementation
- Support for EJB bindings (binding.ejb)
- Invocation of a composite service
This week I came across a good overview of Java Web Frameworks:
