Difference between SOA and RPC

[=?Utf-8?B?S2F1c2hhbCBNZWh0YQ==?=]

Hi,

I am trying to understand between SOA and RPC concepts. I tried to search
the net for the difference, but found there is not much material that
discusses about them. Lot of the material referes to SOA and RPC are the
same.

Any guidance or reference to the materials would be appreciated.

Thanks.

RE: Difference between SOA and RPC

SOA is not just a remote procedure call. In fact, the service you are calling
doesn't even have to be romote. It can even be in your process space. SOA is
an architecture that decouples clients from the services they use. While RPC
is just a way to call a method remotely. So they are very different things.
