Service-Oriented Architectures Based on Jini

Jim Waldo gave a talk in the NYJavaSIG May meeting about Jini being the base for Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA, buzzword alert!).

While Jini does enable all of the advantages promised of a service-oriented architecture, it also enables some others that are somewhat more surprising, such as much higher levels of reliability and the ability to change, upgrade, and extend the system without there being any service interruption.
