What is Middleware? Service Oriented Architecture Explained

In this episode of the What is Middle series, we use an analogy of a transit pass program for Middleware Fields employee's to help explore the concept of Service Oriented Architecture and the role that middleware technologies play in supporting it. Further details of the series can be found at www.johnbrunswick.com

Great, simple, efficient and clear-cut explanation without excess jargon. Great job. Appreciate your work. Thank you!

[@JohnBrunswick]

Thanks! Much appreciated - happy to hear it was helpful.

[@nsynch5483]

In my opinion, THIS is the right way to teach a new concept. Take a real life situation, highlight the challenges therein, get people thinking about possible solutions and finally introduce the concept you're trying to explain and show (don't just tell) how it solves the (real-world) problem. Helps one really understand what the new concept is all about, what's the reason we need to learn about it and it's relevance in the real world.
What most sources (books, articles and even videos) do instead is use a variation of jargon-filled, ultimately meaningless rubbish like this =>
"Service-oriented architecture is a style of software design where services are provided to the other components by application components, through a communication protocol over a network."
Reading this provides near-zero addition to your understanding of the concept, the only exception being a tiresome ability to parrot newly learnt buzzwords in an attempt to appear knowledgeable when in fact you are anything but.

John Relation b/w weblogic and SOA??

[@podunkman2709]

You mix different conceptions. SOA is NOT middleware. SOA can use middleware. Middleware is about communication whereas SOA is about system organization.
