This works well for rapidly developed low-risk projects, but is it right for the enterprise?

This approach isn't/wasn't the central focus of J2EE, which may just leave it out in the cold, whilst the younger up and coming specs take the reins.

Those disbelievers might just need a larger restroom because the value of a plumbing system is (exponentially?) proportional to the scope of its deployment. boneill42 2007-09-04T14:06:40-08:00 http://weblogs.java.net/blog/boneill42/archive/2007/08/an_open_technol.html A while back some smart people put together the Agile Manifesto. Since, its been commercialized, productized and sometimes abused, but if internalized it makes everyone's life a little better. It might be time for a new manifesto, for Open Technology Development. boneill42 2007-08-20T12:16:04-08:00 http://weblogs.java.net/blog/boneill42/archive/2007/08/jbi_catch_the_s.html JBI is gaining strong adoption, but the the real wave is yet to hit as the community forms, and the tooling delivers increased productivity and conveniences. boneill42 2007-08-20T08:45:58-08:00 http://weblogs.java.net/blog/boneill42/archive/2007/07/how_jbi_can_imp.html The JBI specification is about rapid capabilities delivery and service composition. If employed in just the right manner, this can significantly improve your ability to network socially, which in turn can help out your love life. Check out this blog to see how you can use JBI to construct a social networking platform.

Here are three ways that SCA and JBI complement each other.

This is as applicable to mobile devices as it is the enterprise space, and JBI is by no means tied down to app servers.
