I do have many years of experience in large J2EE web applications and high transactional core java applications but never had any experience on SOA.

Currently I am working on a new project but the architecture was already done. We (Java developers) develop EJB services which finally sends JAXB based Java objects to C#.net clients to render the UI which is used only within the company 11000 users. The idea is that, there may be internet users around the world in the future and we will be developing an web application based on J2EE which will be using the same services.

Is this a truly a Service Oriented Architecture? Can SOA done in this way using JAXB bound Java objects which can be consumed from many platforms?

I have never done any SOA work so I want to get some terms correct. Thank you.

    an architecture to be SOA has to stick to the below rules:

    • SOA components are loosely coupled. When we say loosely coupled means every service is self contained and exist in alone logically. For instance we take the ‘payment gateway’ service and attach it to a different system.

    • SOA services are black boxes. In SOA services hide there inner complexities. They only interact using messages and send services depending on those messages. By visualizing services as black boxes services become more loosely coupled.

    • SOA service should be self defined: – SOA services should be able to define themselves.

    • SOA Services are maintained in a listing: – SOA services are maintained in a central
    repository. Applications can search the services in the central repository and use them accordingly.

    • SOA components can be orchestrated and linked to achieve a particular functionality. SOA services can be used/orchestrated in a plug and play manner.

    It does not matter what Technologies/language you are using as long you don’t break any of the above rules
