This is probably another way of saying Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) works best for the enterprise. They probably already know that we should have all functionality in coarse, self-contained services.

But often the plumbing required in the form of web services becomes really painful to leverage. For instance they require creating complex WSDLs and workarounds to prevent timeouts.

SOA is great, people in Java EE world use it wrong.

Instead of making small isolated services they do one single gigantic WAR file.

Instead of using right tool to do the job everything is written in Java.

Instead of having services with implemented business logic they do services that convert one DTO to another.

That sucks...
