SOA sans SOAP

SOAP launched the Web services revolution, and the new generation of SOAP-based frameworks are finally delivering on the potential of SOAP extensions to support security, reliable messaging, transactions, and more - features that can be crucial to SOA. Yet an increasing number of developers are becoming disenchanted with the complexity and overhead of SOAP frameworks and are choosing easier alternatives, generally in the form of services based on Plain Old XML (POX) message exchange over a variety of protocols. In this presentation you'll see how POX-based services can provide the same functionality as the lastest SOAP extensions, and even support interoperation with SOAP through adapters. Wash the SOAP out of your eyes and you'll learn to look at Web services from an entirely new perspective.
