The Middleware Company Introduces SOA Blueprints

The Middleware Company introduced SOA Blueprints, a set of blueprints for developing applications that use service-oriented architectures (SOAs). This effort, designed in conjunction with BEA Systems Inc, contains an open specification, third-party expert validation and upcoming implementations using multiple technologies. SOA Blueprints includes multiple real-world applications, described in an architecturally-neutral way, permitting implementations to come from the middleware community using a variety of technologies including Web Services, J2EE and .NET.

"This effort fortifies how SOA can be applied to real world problems," said Salil Deshpande, CEO at The Middleware Company. "The SOA Blueprints specification captures realistic enterprise scenarios allowing the middleware industry to create, compare, and contrast multiple implementations using diverse technologies. SOAs are increasingly becoming the de-facto standard for mission critical systems, but until now, there has been little documentation on their best practices."
