How SOA paved the way for Cloud

Ross Mason on Wednesday, February 25, 2009

Though some think SOA failed and others see it only as a partial success, this has been because of the approach to SOA and not its underlying principles.

Vendors have for too long evangelized a “big bang” re-architecture of [...]

Storing Objects in the Registry

Jackie on Thursday, February 12, 2009

Note that this approach is no longer recommended if you are using Mule 3.0.0 or later. Instead you can use the ObjectStore. This allows use to store objects in memory, in a persistent store or across Mule HA clusters automatically. You can learn more about Mule 3.0 here and download it here. Recently, there was [...]
