Aide-mémoire: Psychology of why reuse fails - courtesy of GeekAndPokeKate Carruthers writes, "Within companies there is often little trust between departments and an unwillingness to rely upon things that other people have built."(tags: soa reuse)The Red Room - Oracle Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) GTMi Team Blog"SOA is all about making the business more adaptable to change. Why is this an issue? Because the processes and systems we have to support us are so rigid, so slow,...

Recent blog posts by David Chappell and Jürgen Kress include links to a number of SOA design patterns authored by members of the greater Oracle community, including a number of ACEs. These patterns are included in SOA guru Thomas Erl's new book, the aptly titled SOA Design Patterns. To save wear and tear on your mouse-clinking appendages, I've included links to those patterns below: Service Grid In Memory Fault Tolerant CollectionIn Memory Fault Tolerant Stateful ServicesLoad...

Sys-Con's AjaxWorld conference, which convened last Fall in Santa Clara, is now memorable for a couple reasons.First of all, it served as the coming-our party for Oracle's Rich Enterprise Applications (REA) initiative, which I have previously described as a recipe for building rich internet apps (RIAs) that have enterprise-class requirements baked-in. A great overview is available in the form of Pieter Humphrey's keynote, which is available from Sys-Con on demand. (Sorry, you...

What Does "Freedom of Speech" Mean in the Context of Community?

There is a fascinating meta-thread taking shape at forums.oracle.com, especially for those interested in the care and feeding of an interactive community.It began with me issuing a strong personal warning about "personal attacks" to several Database forum regulars, who do not, to put it mildly, "get along". This warning was reproduced verbatim in a public announcement.This warning became necessary, IMO, because certain people were using forums.oracle.com as vehicle for...

No, it's not a recently discovered Agatha Christie story. Rather, a team of rogue Oracle ACEs have taken on the mission of subjecting a red Oracle ACE vest, fondly known as "Stanley", to serial abuse.(This is a little difficult to view, but note the red object on the ground.)Similar crimes against textiles are documented at www.wtfistheacevest.com.Yeah, we can take a hint already. No more red vests!

Cloud Computing Viewpoint: Cloud Services Need Strong Governance | Cloud Computing JournalJames G. Kobielus writes, "SOA governance is maturing as a discipline, while cloud computing—the new galaxy in which services will burst forth—is anything but. Unfortunately, the cloud arena may continue to evolve so fast over the next several years that it will be difficult for consensus service-governance practices to coalesce. Still, emerging cloud services can benefit from the many...

In a blogulous debate with Bex Huff about certification, Dan Norris shares the following anecdote: I recently attended a social networking gathering where I met an executive from the "most recognized" certification company in the US (their own claim). Anyway, he informed me that the last 6 months have been among the best they've ever had. He said that when people start getting laid off, they look for a tune-up and some way to make themselves more marketable. Their...
