Question

I want to know the differences between SOA and OO, and why SOA is going to popular?

Answer 1

SOA is getting popular, because it introduces several benefits:

• Makes your system more extensible
• Easier for use by third-party code, for example you client’s clients and their systems
• It conserves your business logic and gives the ability to add additional presentation layers easier. This can be achieved in other methods, too.

These are the main benefits of SOA, I think. But you cannot compare OOP and SOA .. they’re different things and they are not interchangeable. SOA is software architecture in general, on the other hand OOP is programming paradigm.
