SOA will Eclipse OO?
 

I'm quite interested in the concept of software components and how those ideas can be applied to Java code. Thoughts or ideas I have on this subject get dropped here for the benefit of humanity and my own hubris.

Leading Microsoft architect Don Box said the world of service-oriented architectures (SOA) will eclipse object-oriented programming. According to Box, “Objects are great; they’re based on trying to put as much of the programmer’s thinking into the code” as possible, whereas with SOA “all this stuff shifts the focus from types and abstractions to contracts and schemas”.

It is not a coincidence that these concepts sound very similar to what I was describing in my thoughts about Objects vs. Components.
