SOA - data access for business services as a separate web service or no?

Your service layer probably shouldn't have anything more than your business layer besides some dumbed-down DTOs perhaps. Then noone is asking "what does this other service do that uses my database?" because it isn't using your db, it is using your BL.

You're waving a red flag when you describe "forcing" users to do anything. Maybe you can think about your question and rephrase it in terms something like "enable" users, because this should be the starting point for your decision, and SOA offers advantages and disadvantages for different UI strategies.

I wouldn't force users to do anything, I was talking about developers that need to be consistent w/ their approach inside the enterprise. – Toran Billups Mar 24 '09 at 18:16.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
