SOAj provides a Java compliant programming model for Pattern Enabled Development℠. It is loosely coupled to a “PED Adventure Builder” reference application. The Partitioned Stack diagram (below) indicates the scope of SOAj; the term “Enterprise” signifies globally reusable working software.

The SOAj Java open source programming model adheres to Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) principles aligned with Pattern Enabled Development℠ (PED).

How does a light-weight programming model like SOAj differ from a relatively heavy-weight framework?

A programming model:

1. Loosely wraps best-in-class proven technologies.
2. Reduces semantic variation across multiple technologies.
3. Promotes reusable application architecture.
4. Uses a metaphor (General Store) to describe development.
