The “S” in “SOA” is Services
SOA is indeed architecture, but it’s based on the proper design, development, and testing of Services. These Services provide what’s core to SOA, and the discipline and process that software engineers put around this effort should be significant. Changes to SOA Services design, development and testing need to be made and understood right now.
Anemic Domain Model
The basic symptom of an Anemic Domain Model is that at first blush it looks like the real thing. There are objects, many named after the nouns in the domain space, and these objects are connected with the rich relationships and structure that true domain models have. The catch comes when you look at the behavior, and you realize that there is hardly any behavior on these objects, making them little more than bags of getters and setters. Indeed often these models come with design rules that say that you are not to put any domain logic in the the domain objects. Instead there are a set of service objects which capture all the domain logic. These services live on top of the domain model and use the domain model for data.
