Why doesn't Microsoft get in on the service component architecture action?: Why doesn't Microsoft get in on the Service Component Architecture action?They are letting another opportunity to gouge consumers go?Wow, that's a first. Typically Micro$loth does jump on bandwagons and endeavor to inappropriately dominate and careen the motivation away from hetrogenous solutions that benefit everyone to their own brand of...; Tags: Service Component Architecture, Microsoft Corp.; Discussion threads 2007-10-17
Why doesn't Microsoft get in on the service component architecture action?: Microsoft is pretty well known for creating its own bandwagons, not jumping on someone else's. But if Microsoft is really serious about SOA, shouldn't it at least get in on the Service Component Architecture action? After all, SCA is about moving the SOA service code base away from specific languages,...; Tags: Service Component Architecture, Microsoft Corp., Joe McKendrick; Blog posts 2007-10-09

service component architecture gets slapped around a bit: Service component architecture SCA is a good thing, right? Isn't it supposed to elevate SOA-ish things above Java and all that other those other bothersome languages with their own protocols, complexities, and latency issues?Well, some analysts out there have professed that SCA has, well, issues. David Chappell, for one,...; Tags: Web Services, Vendor Watch, Standards Watch, General; Blog posts 2007-06-01
Build Mashups With the service component architecture and Apache Tuscany: Service Component Architecture provides a flexibility of composition, reuse, and technology and deployment choice that makes it an ideal environment in which to build and run mashup applications.

SCA Application Development, Part 1: An Overview of service component architecture: Service-Oriented Architecture SOA is a framework that combines individual business functions and processes, called services, to implement sophisticated business applications and processes. In a SOA framework, relatively coarse-grained business components are exposed as services. SOA structures IT assets as a series of reusable services, which are loosely coupled and are...; Tags: SOA, Service Component Architecture, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), Web Services, Middleware, Enterprise Software, Software; White papers 2006-08-08
Building SOA Solutions With the service component architecture - Part 3: Integrating SCA Modules With Imports and Exports: In Part 1 of this series, the paper introduced the Service Component Architecture SCA as a programming model for building and assembling integration solutions with an overview of what SCA is, and with definitions of some related terminology.

Is SCA the Java world's response to Indigo?: It's often frustrating that Microsoft seems to want to do its own thing apart from everybody else, and set its own standards for service-oriented technology. But, then again, it's far better to have competition than everybody marching in lockstep. We've been watching the battles between Linux and Windows.
