> But, as Rocky advises, the Service layer should not act as a "tier" inside an application. This would basically defeat the SOA architecture.
That is, look at it as a "facade" to wrap and decouple components, just like an UI layer but here the client is another program or component...

Hi,
So, are you saying that services should not be dependent upon any other services? However, could services still make up the components of a single application? I mean they wouldn't be a tier of the application, but they would provide features that the application
required?
I just got the book, "Enterprise SOA Service-Oriented Architecture Best Practices" today. I'm working on reading it now. Hopefully it'll answer some of my questions about this. Has anyone here read that book?
