Re: IBM and the vanishing System i

Eric,
SOA is mentioned all over in the IBM System i Developer Road Atlas, too. You can see it here: http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/i/roadmap/

Subject: RE: IBM and the vanishing System i
Um, I guess I don't see how "opposition to SOA" would have bearing on this omission.... Surely I'm not mistaken that SOA is the basis for most IBM middleware currently being produced, and that SOA is clearly the focus of IBM's developer roadmap.... So, why omit an entire server family from this paradigm? Such discrimination just reinforces the "legacy" image of our platform.
IBM can't even be counted upon to mention System i in its development redbooks, so why would we expect anything BUT opposition to this technology....
I was fortunate to be able to attend an SOA workshop at the IBM TEC in Dallas. IBM has the tooling and the necessary resources to support SOA development on System i, but that message never quite gets communicated properly. It concerns me a great deal.....
