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:
• Contract-based interfaces
. d2 ~2 v. y# |7 n2 R- E8 S7 QSOA promotes the use of abstract interfaces independent of underlying business
logic implementations. These interfaces represent a contract between clients
and the business applications. As long as the client makes a proper request for a

the contract. The SOA contract helps to uncouple client and server development
