WOA wins hands-down over SOA in popularity contest

WOA is a specific type of SOA apple -- WOA requires REST: "They can even be mixed (WOA with SOAP)."

By definition, one of the WOA constraints is the use of REST.

SOAP messages can be used RESTfully, but that isn't common and requires ignoring parts of the SOAP semantics (e.g. ignore the "method" that is specified in the SOAP body).; Posted by: reamon@...
