In the recent entry in SOA/SEM Journal, John Crupi reiterated the importance of the application of Ajax in the application of technology. John Crupi is one of the industry leaders for the creation of SOA applications. He is the CTO of JackBe Corporation, a web development company known for their SOA development applications for various businesses.

SOA stands for Service Oriented Architecture. They are usually middle wares launched in various websites of companies. These middle-wares are run within the system and searches information or provide services to the needs of the customers and clients. Most of the time, SOA will also work as a middle-ware of the middle-ware. For example, the company uses and extensive web-based search program and while its being run; another software is being run on the server side – searching for answers incessantly. In a split second, whenever we try to complete a process of looking for information of closing the sale in a website, these events happen. You would notice that the program is being run together with the server responding to every query. This is labor intensive in terms of the constant need to respond to each of the query and processes. From these facts alone, you would notice there is a required constant response from the server. This requires the server should be running in its top condition at all time and the connection between the server and the user is also fast at the same time. That’s the constant practice that is being followed in all platforms until AJAX was launched. The sweet technology of the development of Ajax cuts the SOA problem of server based responses. When everything is in its place, there is no need for the server to run really fast since Ajax will get all the information you need in one shot without even stopping the process in the first place. According the Cupri, this ability of Ajax “puts face on SOA”. “For the first time, it's starting to feel like our application development and SOA efforts are coming together. We have business functionality represented in a reusable form - SOA services. We have ubiquitous connectivity - the Web. We have what's turning out to be the new application container - the browser. We have a programming model in the application container/browser - JavaScript. And they are all using open standards! What more could we ask for? Actually, quite a bit more” Everything is coming together because of Ajax. The proper use of technology makes it even better for various SOA applications to run smoothly. If you are thinking Web 2.0, it’s even more powerful. Users can’t just experience the services of various websites, the users will also have the chance of providing service through various application. This realization comes from various websites that accepts uploads from users and showcase them as part of their marketing strategy. Others can also log in and see the information, pictures or video being uploaded. As we have said, these are middle-wares and the interaction of customers makes the experience better. With the development of Ajax, we are hopeful that the user experience will be more interactive.
