Without service description, it is hard for the service consumers to figure out how to compose the requests and how to interpret the responses.<br>A Web server serving up XML documents which contained links to other XML documents, perhaps on other Web servers, would be a far superior solution.<br>I am not a fan of UDDI either. However, a facility like the service registry is required in the picture of SOA. Note that the web directories and search engines have succeeded during the development of web. I think relevant directories or search engines for services will get popular with the development of SOA later.<br>Dong Liuhttp://blogs.usask.ca/dong_notes/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054543485166290590.post-37803863972178701822006-08-29T11:58:24.000-07:002006-08-29T11:58:24.000-07:00The Web has always been about "services"...The Web has always been about "services", long before "Web services" ever came along.<br>See the interview for more on why we don't need equivalents of WSDL and UDDI.<br>Mark Bakerhttp://www.markbaker.canoreply@blogger.com
