What are the problematic details of enterprise software?
Very complex (read – expensive)
Concepts vary from vendor to vendor even from tool to tool within vendors!
People forced to make a significant investment based on particular vendors tools
Tied to a platform, it is difficult to refactor and reuse business logic

Abstractions are essential, if they're the right ones.
Java EE solves lots of problems by pushing programming problems to the “container”.
Brought together technologies in a pre-“services” world.
Now we need something for the services world...

Is it going to get better?

Yes! SCA means to help! And here's how...
Defining common concepts for design, implementation, configuration, and deployment
Clear(er) separation of roles
Isolating business logic from environment
Separates design “intent” from how functionality gets exposed

SCA brings together all of your SOA related technologies into one context.
Unifies how business logic exposes itself via services, and accesses other services via references
Less vendor lock-in over time
... sounds great – so what's the catch?

There are just a few gotchas lurking around SCA.
Fully extensible set of specifications
Not fully baked – OASIS TCs still in progress
Vendor support?
![Page 10: The KISS Principle Applied to SOA Using SCAevents.oasis-open.org/home/sites/events.oasis-open.org... · 2008-05-05 · Applied to SOA Using SCA How can all those SCA specifications](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042012/5e72efb2777c6205b275cb2d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

SCA has clear benefits, but brings new complexity.Now what do I do?

What techniques make sense to apply to using SCA to keep the problems tractable?
Avoid the full of complexity of the specification
Develop centers of expertise, and start small
Establish conventions
Stick to a single vendor
Maybe even ignore the vendors
Above all, apply the KISS principle ?
Use
SCA
![Page 12: The KISS Principle Applied to SOA Using SCAevents.oasis-open.org/home/sites/events.oasis-open.org... · 2008-05-05 · Applied to SOA Using SCA How can all those SCA specifications](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042012/5e72efb2777c6205b275cb2d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Avoid the full complexity of the specification.
Pick parts that will help you out right now
Use it for a particular purpose
Follow expected paths
![Page 13: The KISS Principle Applied to SOA Using SCAevents.oasis-open.org/home/sites/events.oasis-open.org... · 2008-05-05 · Applied to SOA Using SCA How can all those SCA specifications](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042012/5e72efb2777c6205b275cb2d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Develop centers of expertise and start small.
Pick a core group of people that will start with SCA
Use this group to figure out what is appropriate
Invest in exposing them to a variety of sources of information and training
Have additional teams start using SCA only after core team is ready to mentor
![Page 14: The KISS Principle Applied to SOA Using SCAevents.oasis-open.org/home/sites/events.oasis-open.org... · 2008-05-05 · Applied to SOA Using SCA How can all those SCA specifications](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042012/5e72efb2777c6205b275cb2d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Establish clear conventions for use.
Even better – use conventions set out by a vendor's tool
Validate conformance to those conventions
Examples: Always/never assign policy intents to references
Use only agreed-upon implementation and binding types
Never use “wires” stand-alone
Use only single-part WSDL messages

Stick to a single vendor.
Do you constantly switch database, compiler, and operating system vendors...?
Pressure the vendor of your choice to satisfy your needs
Learn the specifics of the vendor's tools, exploit them when appropriate.
![Page 16: The KISS Principle Applied to SOA Using SCAevents.oasis-open.org/home/sites/events.oasis-open.org... · 2008-05-05 · Applied to SOA Using SCA How can all those SCA specifications](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042012/5e72efb2777c6205b275cb2d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

What do you mean by “ignore the vendors!?” How can that work?
Maybe you think it is too early to get on the bandwagon?
Options: Start learning the specifications – learn the terms, concepts, patterns, and
approaches
Apply SCA ways of thinking in your architecture
Use it like you would UML – diagram your services
... and you're a lot further along when the vendors catch up to you.

Continually reassess how you measure up to the KISS principle.
SCA, BPEL, SDO, JAX-WS, SOAP, WS-ReliableMessaging, JMS, WSDL – do you really need it all?
Unnecessary complexity is the enemy of Predictability
Reliability
Security

Conclusion
Get on the SCA bandwagon
Do so cautiously
... and of course, I think you should use TIBCO products to do so
