Web paradigm arises as alternative to SOA - 6/1/2008 - Manufacturing Business Technology

All major enterprise platform providers—IBM, BEA, Microsoft, Oracle, and SAP—are backing SOAP messaging, WSDL service descriptions, and WS-Security for specifying the kinds of tokens used for transmitting authorizations, all of which has fueled hope that Web services would deliver on the promise of SOA.
A backlash has emerged against the complexity of SOA. When it comes to standards, at least 80 have been approved—or are in the pipeline to be approved—by standards bodies such as OASIS and the W3C. With such a wealth of standards, it's easy to spot overlapping specifications, such as SAML and WS-Federation, which cover federated identity and are supported by different—and in some cases overlapping—groups of vendors.
Data services provider StrikeIron, for example, is offering a hosted marketplace for data services such as Dun & Bradstreet business credit checks, U.S. Patriot Act compliance, global address correction, email address validation, sales and use tax retrieval, and in-depth corporate profile information for customers or business partners.
Acknowledging the success of back-to-basics approaches like Amazon Web Services, Stamford, Conn.-based Gartner Group Analyst Nick Gall coined the term Web-Oriented Architecture (WOA), which refers to the use of common Web technologies to support interactions that mimic SOA. In essence, it applies the same Web technologies that people use for manually interacting with Web sites to establish more automated connections.
Specifically, instead of using a SOAP envelope, a plain-old XML message—often abbreviated as “POX”—is sent with a request to a URI, an information resource that is represented as a Web address, or URL. And in place of a UDDI Web services registry, a common Web search engine is used to find URIs, or resources, that satisfy a REST service request.
One company that has taken WOA to heart is SnapLogic, a start-up founded by veterans of Informatica. SnapLogic is unveiling its own data services marketplace, promoted as “Really Simple Integration.”
Based on a simple open-source Apache Tomcat Web server, customers connect with data services, each of which is assigned separate URIs. In turn, if an organization seeks to personalize access by individual or role, it can do so by granting users access only to specific URIs.
Add Sticky Note
- Interesting idea

Access control is enforced, not by any kind of Web services authentication or federated identity standard, but by the internal directory or access control systems. And because the metadata is indexed using standard HTML, it is searchable by Google or any other Web search engine.
