Hi Raj,

SOA is not about what technology you are using to connect. Its about whether your business processes have been exposed as services for other applications / processes to access. You can use XI as well to access these services.

ESA (now called Enterprise SOA) is SAP view on the SOA concept. There is an extensive section here in SDN on the topic. ESA is the style or a methodology to build applications which reflects SAP's 30 years of experience and latest IT advancements such as webservices. ESA helps you in building Flexible applications which can adopt the changes whenever occured in the market. ESA is SAP's new vision and we can realize this using Netweaver.

I hope this clarifies.

Regards.

The O'Reilly book "Enteprise SOA: Designing IT for Business Innovation" by Woods & Mattern may help you with getting on top of the ESA stuff.

Hi,

SOA i.e Service Oriented Architecture, is towards openness. As thru netweaver platform you can integrate any applications thru Webservice etc..
