Eclipse Swordfish - An SOA Runtime Environment


In this screencast, Ricco Deutscher or the Eclipse Swordfish project walks us through the architecture, intentions, and road-map for the OSGi-tools SOA runtime, Swordfish. As Ricco outlines, the Swordfish came about from the desire to benefit from combining the use of JBI, SCA, and OSGi. JBI lends a good packing methodology, SCA helps with the execution of service components, and OSGi adds in the dynamic functionality needed and helps glue it all together.

    Pretend I’m 5 years old.

    Tell me in 50 words or less what service-oriented architecture is.

    Tell me why a simple, Plain Old XML over HTTP API doesn’t suffice and why I should care abut “WS-*”.

    Why should I spend my spare time coding stuff that’s only relevant to huge corporations? How am I supposed to be passionate about solving GE or IBM’s problems? I’d rather solve the ones my friends or my parents have.
