This podcast covers the following topics about the SOA programming model: - SOA is evolutionary, not revolutionary -- it's really about business activities being reusable.
- An SOA environment is composed of three main elements: Service Component Architecture (SCA), the invocation framework; Service Data Objects (SDO), the data framework; and BPEL, the compositional model. This podcast focuses on SCA.
- Developers can build SOA components for the SOA programming model with tools such as WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere Integration Developer.
- SCA provides a framework for integrating existing systems and assets of an IT structure, with the goal of concentrating on business activities and flows.
