The goal of Service Component Architecture (SCA), simply stated, is to reduce IT complexity through a standardized framework for assembling disparate enterprise Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) components into a higher-level composite, thus simplifying development, deployment and management of enterprise applications. Standards such as SOA, Java Connector Architecture (JCA), Business Process Execution Language (BPEL), and Web services have gone a long way towards standardizing some fundamental aspects of application development.
