For class tonight we had to come up with a proposal for our term paper. This had to be something related to an EAI topic. I chose to do SOA Security. I figured this was a big problem when using Service Oriented Architecture. I have found a lot of good articles on challenges, solutions, and other various bits of information about this subject.
I also interviewed for a job where they are currently working on converting their existing web pages to use web services. I find this class to be a great tool if I get hired there and put into that position of helping them perform this task. I don't know if this class alone will teach me enough about web services to be a huge help, but I can also research about them on my own.
