17 Apr 2007 : Mapping a POJO Domain Model to an SOA 
As SOA gains adoption, more and more data will be accessed via business
service interfaces, called service-oriented data sources, instead of
direct database calls. Further, no enterprise will adopt SOA all at
once; an incremental approach to SOA adoption is much less risky than an all-or-nothing one. This trend, coupled with the desire to preserve the ability to continue to pursue POJO domain models, creates a need, for a product that will provide composite applications transparent data access via services as well as databases, and do it in a way that minimizes development effort and maximizes runtime performance. Xcalia
(
http://www.xcalia.com) provides such a product, called Xcalia Intermediation Core (XIC).
Come see how easy composite application development can be with XIC when
we apply the lessons learned in transparent persistence to the new kinds
of data sources present in an SOA, including web services, EJB session
beans, legacy & packaged applications, mainframes, and anything else
callable from Java.
