I was passing by some article of Joe McKendrick , on his article Five reasons why people mistrust SOA

And I found it fairly all true, and I believe I fall even in one of them:

So I thgouh of writting them down again, to remember them every time I think of SOA

1. Approaching SOA as merely “another messaging technology for connecting applications.”
2. Thinking of SOA as the latest evolution of object orientation orcomponent based development.
3. Aiming for too much — instead of the right level — of reuse.
4. Focusing on building a “service library” — in which services may or may not be discovered and reused — versus a “service portfolio” attuned to business processes.
5. Treating SOA as a solution, when really it is only an approach — the end-goal of any efforts should not be to simply “build an SOA.”
