[snip] Marco: Stateful semantics don't have to be conveyed at the interface level in the way you suggest. In fact it really dirties the SOA model if you do. Why not just use some kind of "activity" context (perhaps a la Web Services Coordination) to give you "stateful" interactions without knackering the rest of the architecture. Of course you might want to advertise that you support these kind of "activities" but WSDL can already cope with that. As for impedance mismatch, SOA and OO are different, and so of course you have a mismatch. The skill is in transforming one to the other, not bodging one to behave like the other. To paraphrase, "If all you have is classes, everything looks like an object." But of course, now we have services too and they certainly don't look much like objects. Jim
