SOA Epiphany

The "SOA for Dummies" book made a point that now seems obvious but hadn't before -- that the whole notion of the ESB is really function on top the existing network. For me, that's rather eye-opening ... it suggests that the "Enterprise Service Bus" is not so much a transport-layer technology as a command-and-control technology that runs on top.

You're probably reading this and thinking, "You have a keen grasp of the obvious, Bagwell."

Yeah, well ... :-)

I'm a slow learner, as I said.
