The boys are fighting again…
– “No, mine is better” – “But you didn’t measure yours fairly” 🙂 Sun published a paper on the performance of J2EE vs .Net for SOAP processing and Microsoftresponded by replicating the same tests.

Please everyone, repeat after me… there are NO OBJECTS in service-orientation
At least there are no objects that we can see. Objects may be used in an implementation of a service but there are no objects in the architecture (either remote or local). In a post that seems to miss this point, Sean Landis talks about “SOAs – Separating Hype from Reality”. Here’s a quote from…

Services… are they the evolution of components? And… “stateless” vs “stateful” again.
In a previous post I mentioned Jim‘s thoughts on the transition from objects, to components, and now services. His post generated some interesting comments and an entry in Stefan‘s blog.

I have been following the development of “Xen”, then “X#”, and now “Comega” for some time.

Jim, REST, Resources, and Services
Those who know Jim and me well always wonder how we can possible work together and produce interesting work since we seem to constantly argue and disagree on things… from who’s the uglier of the two (I usually let him win on this one :-), on all things technology related. I really enjoy working with…

Travelling never stops
It seems that I am constantly on the road, which is cool because I like travelling and meeting people. I just got back from two days in Brighton, UK, where I attended the JISCJoint Programmes Meeting. JISC funds half of our WS-GAF project (effectively they pay half of Jim‘s salary) so we were asked to…
