Siebel has supported these products 2 - 3 releases ago: - Interfaces to Webspere and Weblogic were already supported via Siebel's JMS Transport. But were also supported via UAN. - Imagine telling customers with MS SQL or IBM DB/2 that they are no longer supported. Drive them to the competition. - The SOA stuff is the funniest.... Siebel has supported the associated technologies (Web Services, XML, SOAP, WSDL, XSD) for sometime now. And the UAN product supported BPEL, specifically in Webspere and Web Logic. Both of these products were already certified to work with Siebel. Sounds like they just certified Oracle's BPEL and ESB servers. But they all use standards associated with SOA so it's really nothing new - The Workflow Task crap is a combination of modules in two previous versions... SmartScript, and the User Interact step in standard workflow process.... smoking mirrors. Support for third-party products in Siebel is really not all that interesting.
