Will J2EE really die?

Yesterday while browsing I came across an interesting article which talks about the death of J2EE in a pure SOA world. See this link for the complete article:

http://searchwebservices.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid26_gci1198211,00.html

It basically says that:

1. J2EE will go the CORBA way but JAVA language will not be affected in any way

2. J2EE is well suited for platform independent apps but “not built for SOA”.

But isn't SOA all about architecture and not the implementation? What about .NET platform? Will it suffer the same fate as J2EE? Or why will it survive and J2EE die in a pure SOA world? Is there something called the “best SOA implementation“?

I am trying to find answers to these questions...!

I'd hate to have either of those bozo's consulting firms working on one my projects :) They don't understand any of the technology they're speaking about... VMs don't "fit" in SOA? Object Oriented languages provide "little value" to SOA? What do either of those things have to do with a service oriented design? Then they list ROR (a pure OO language) as proof J2EE is doomed.

I agree J2EE is increasingly complex and many enterprises are looking for a better approach, but this has nothing to do with SOA. But as far as Java, .NET, and other OO languages go, what do they think is going to replace them in the next 5 years? If anything a good SOA architecture will extend the life of enterprise applications as you focus on integration over rewriting.

I wouldn't put too much stock into what these guys say, they're just rattling off buzz-words and making sensational statements to get attention. Read up on what Microsoft, Sun, Oracle, and IBM are doing in the SOA arena for a better idea of where the technology is going.
