Tuesday, July 02, 2002Mike Deem: "We (meaning the SOAP community as embodied on soapbuilders) have done a damn fine job working around and within these specifications to deliver an amazingly interoperable cross platform messaging infrastructure. It is an accomplishment that ranks very high on the all time list of truly wonderful things that have happened with computers. We should be very proud of this." Amen.

John Udell: Glue, Gaia, and the services grid. "As every user of Glue knows, Graham [Glass, the wizard behind The Mind Electric] is more than a brilliant software engineer. He has an even rarer talent for simplicity. In Glue, as Larry Wall says of Perl, "easy things are easy, and hard things are possible." That's why I think of Glue as the SOAP::Lite of Java. The easy thing that Glue makes easy is the basic web services stack. The hard thing that Gaia makes possible is a grid fabric which, though intended first for web services, has more general possibilities." Hm, "Glue as the SOAP::Lite of Java". I like that. Thanks, John. Agree with everything you said about Graham and Glue. Glue is super simple and easy to use. Sometimes it's even simpler than SOAP::Lite ;). Kudos Graham!

webservice.org: Why doesn't EDi just die already? "Web services will have a tougher job convincing businesses to switch from EDI, because of their relative novelty, but you see the pieces starting to come together to prove their stability, reliability, and staying power. ...Both Web services and ebXML can offer businesses something EDI cannot, and that's flexibility. EDI transactions generally work from implementation guidelines that specify fixed message formats. That works fine, as long as you keep within your supply chain and have stable content. But business today does not always have that kind of predictability, and EDI transactions has been found difficult to map from one industry to another, and even between different segments of the same industry."
