SOA meets Web 2.0 - Where the Java EE standards fall short
Web 2.0 promises a rich Web experience where users can collaborate in effective and, hopefully, rewarding ways. If we combine these two phenomena we can begin to realize significant new efficiencies in the way members of an enterprise community interact amongst themselves and with corporate data that is constantly changing around them. Collaborative enterprise mashups and other next-generation Web applications are on the horizon, but speculation in the development community is that there are fundamental gaps between the technologies needed to realize the apparent benefits. We will examine the state of Java presentation technologies in an effort to understand where the standards must go to facilitate the marriage of SOA and Web 2.0 concepts.
