How many standards does service-oriented architecture (SOA) need? Are there standards SOA could live without? What's working in SOA development and what's not?

In this presentation, recorded at the recent Grails Exchange event in London (organized by Skills Matter), Paul Fremantle, co-founder of WS02, shows you how Groovy can be used inside a lightweight SOA framework - Apache Synapse - to make it easier and simpler to manage REST, SOAP and other network communications. He looks at how the combination of simple Groovy scripting inside a micro-broker like Synapse can be used to manage load-balancing, failover, versioning and other useful stuff.
