Interesting article about SOA.

Have a read of this article :

Killing the Command message: should we use Events or Documents ?

The second option feels very natural if you are a BizTalk developer. But you have to read the article first to understand this remark.

I dont think it really matters to BizTalk if a message represents a document or an event. I think it's more a question of what the architect chooses.

Personally I could see a blend of the two in a single architecture. Sometimes an event is more natural (when you more interested in the event than in the actual data). But I usually tend to think in terms of messages are documents (an Invoice for example)...
