Web developers who use the increasingly popular combo of the Ruby programming language with the Rails framework, better known as Ruby on Rails, now have an open source framework for providing and/or consuming Web services. WSO2's newly released Web Services Framework for Ruby (WSF/Ruby) is the first Ruby extension to support the WS-* specifications, which include the SOAP Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism (MTOM), WS-Addressing, WS-Security, WS-SecurityPolicy, and WS-Reliable Messaging.

( 3 / 379 )As part of the commitment to deliver SOA to organisations we as Architects face a number of issues.
In upcoming articles i hope to identify the current (and future) issues we face and provide some insights into how we might deal with these.
I hope you find the articles useful.

( 2.6 / 310 )Testing the SOA Framework can become problematic as the level of SOA maturity increases.
The complexity of the SOA environment increase the further along the maturity path an organisation progresses.
The promise of SOA is to deliver loosely coupled systems and with this comes flexibility to adjust/change the applications as business demands dictate. Replicating the entire SOA production environment will become increasingly difficult and eventually impossible since at some point the services will consume external (outside the organisations domain) services and these may be consumed by several composite services in the organisation.
The above is an outline of the problem statement, in future blogs i will attempt to break this down into testable components in a QA environment and components we can only test in production! Yes that's correct, testing in Production, which screams against every sensibility we have and yet how else can we hope to guarantee the organisations drive to introduce flexible systems when we would otherwise be in continual test and release cycles which will lead to rapid decrease in delivery which is one of the very things we have promised SOA will deliver!
Watch out for the next blog in the series and thanks for taking the time to read this article.
