Patrick Logan advises you to isolate the enterprisey systems as best as you can:
Having some large software vendor or partner inject SOAP into your data center is no reason to allow it to infect all of *your* work. Push WS-Complexity out to just those edges whose outside forces require it. Stop the enemy at the gates. Make the rest as simple as possible. Always assert your control over your own architecture or you will be a loser.
That's good advice. The WS* stack is a morass of complexity - it's starting to make the CORBA boomlet of the early 90's look simple.
