Re: Application design & architecture

Walden,

And what happens when your family grows so fast it needs a larger house? Do 
you build a new one? Or, do you re-architect the current one? And, when you 
re-architect, surely there are a lot of things that can be re-used for the 
new architecture?

Moving a wall and adding a toilet CAN be SOA. Just because SOA provides a 
foundation does not mean it cannot be your existing foundation. What if you 
need to add a deck overlooking your backyard? SOA would provide the 
direction in which your extended foundation would be built - to co-exist and 
integrate with your existing foundation.
