There’s a great deal to to soak in and it all sounds grand. I am buying into the whole concept of serivce oriented architecture, but it all seems a bit huge to grasp.

Taking advantage of all this new technology requires a significant shift not only in skills, but a way of thinking. If you’re not starting from scratch, or working in a shop with several developers, getting the collective buy in (i.e. drink the Kool Aid) appears to be a big effort. However, these frameworks show the promise of more tightly integrating business processes (and business analysts) and application development.
