Response to: SOA and Object Oriented Architecture

SOA <---> OOP


Looks like the author and some of the reviewers are missing certain some key points of discussion.


It is obvious that SOA and OOP operate at very different levels of abstractions as well as cater for two distinct needs. Incidentally, both the service-consumer, the service-provider could built their agents entirely adhering to OO paradigms.


Other key point missed in the discussion is that considering "passing data to a system" NOT OO. That is not true. In OO paradigm, passing data to an external system (perhaps in form of an object or in form of a primitive) is still considered perfectly OO.


Nevertheless, it’s a good article for a beginner.
