Service-oriented architecture, or SOA, refers to a style used in the development of enterprise-class business applications. Traditional business application development has followed a purpose-built paradigm that is now perceived as being inflexible and incapable of evolving at the same rapid pace that business markets and processes are now changing. SOA provides the flexibility and the opportunity for business applications to keep pace with changes in the global business climate.The most important characteristics of SOA that allow it to meet these fundamental objectives are:

3 v1 p( K- P! N0 wSOA promotes the use of abstract interfaces independent of underlying business
logic implementations. These interfaces represent a contract between clients

' C4 X" F. M/ v/ Mservice, the server honors it and returns a response in the format specifi e d in

activities and allows them to evolve independently so long as the contract

* i% k: u. g: A$ Y" a6 Q• Coarse-grained interfaces
SOA interfaces also tend to be coarse-grained, in the sense that they ideally
/ r+ l$ R+ F& A" x# f: \represent a complete business transaction. The client makes a request for some

intervening conversation with the client, and then sends back a fully-complete

• Single entry point to business logic
After a service is exposed throUGh SOA, it is immediately available to all
clients. Because the service is contract-based, the server logic does not require
knowledge about the client requesting the service, which allows new client
technologies to be adopted without changing the service or invalidating other
