- an architectural design pattern;
- loosle-coupled relationships between producers and consumers;
- architecture that relies on service-orientation as its fundemental design principle.
Service-oriented architectures are not a new thing. The first service-oriented architecture for many people in the past was with the use of DCOM or Object Request Brokers (ORBs)
based on the CORBA specification. It also included messaging technologies such as IBM’s MQ Series, Tuxedo (Message Oriented Middleware – MOM), and the Java Message Service (JMS).
These technologies have been used in industry for many years.
