Oracle VP for Fusion Middleware just laid out Oracle's most detailed vision yet of how the SOA lifecycle should work -- from simplified, declarative development via standards-based (JSF, EJB3) frameworks, to standards-based (BPEL) service integration/orchestration, to runtime management and security (via Oracle Web Services Manager et al), to post-deployment changes (via Oracle BAM). The SOA stack is starting to make some sense for the real world.Thomas also made (or echoed)...

We've just externed a new OTN TechCast (podcast) interview with Oracle BPEL expert Dave Shaffer. Among other things, Dave explains why J2EE developers should care about BPEL, the architecture of a BPEL "business process," and how a BPEL business process is related to/differs from a conventional "Web service." Good stuff for people getting started with BPEL.Listen to the podcast mp3, or subscribe to Oracle's OTN TechCasts via RSS, here.
