Understanding SOA

SOA can be considered as a design approach for a collection of services which communicate with each other.All these services are very well defined,reusable ,platform independent and loosly coupled.The most stylish feature of SOA is its ability to integrate.It is so flexible that it can be integrated with almost all the technology or end system.

To understand SOA we must know web services.

To know web services we must know SOAP,WSDL and UDDI

To know the SOAP we must know the RPC concept and how it works,again XML is a must.

I already have covered the basic concepts of java in my previous post "learning Java"
and XML

I didn't cover the RMI or RPC concept there.

SO we will be proceeding in a way yo cover all the concepts

so First RPC->SOAP->WSDL->UDDI->WebServices->SOA
