Frank Cohen on FastSOA

There are plenty of interviews about SOA, but this caugth my eye recently. Frank Cohen adresses scalability and performance issues in a concept he calls FastSOA. I like his approach, which is practical and can be used on the enterprise level. I will not recount the whole interview here, just a short quote:

FastSOA addresses these problems:

• Solves SOAP binding performance problems by reducing the need for Java objects and increasing the use of native XML environments to provide SOAP bindings.
• Introduces a mid-tier service cache to provide SOA service acceleration, transformation, and federation.
• Uses native XML persistence to solve XML, object, and relational incompatibility.
