The IBM WebSphere Application Server v7 Feature Pack for Service Component Architecture (SCA) v1.0.1 provides a simple, yet powerful programming model for service composition and deployment in a SOA environment. Designed by key technology vendors (osoa.org), including IBM, the SCA programming model supports the principles of SOA through application flexibility and agility. Service implementation and access method details are moved out of business application logic and into metadata that can be operated on by middleware. By allowing developers to focus on business logic instead of service details, the SCA programming model helps improve SOA-based composite application time to market and flexibility. Tools support for the Feature Pack for SCA available in Rational Application Developer 7.5.
