[ebxml-dev] cheer up guys

i have just about finished reading Doug Kaye's "Loosely Coupled:  The
missing pieces of Web Services".

its a pretty compelling arguement for ebXML.

having not spent a lot of time reading on web services, i am familiar with
UDDI/SOAP/WSDL and the SOA model.

he higlighted the fragility of the SOA model being a lack of BPM,
Choreography and BPM, and Security.  there was also reference to a missing
SHARED VIEW or content model for business documents, like Purchase Order
etc.  i guess thats where OAGIS and UBL fit in.

i found it a fairly basic book, hoping for a challenging read, but hey, he
put into words what i could not.

so cheer up, the fruits of a master are often overlooked in his/her own
lifetime.
