Oracle did a bunch of surveys of SOA customers to identify how they most quickly leveraged SOA technology for quick wins. Of the three patterns that emerged as the most useful aspect of adopting SOA, extending the mainframe was one of them.

mainframes all have adapters that expose mainframe data/processes to SOA based applications, so the idea is that you don't need the COBOL folks to modify mainframe based procedures, just use the adapters to expose the data/functions as services to be orchestrated into new composite apps.

There is a good white paper on the use cases/business value that came out of that study.

if anyone is interested, drop me an email, and I'll dig up the otn link, or post my electronic copy of it.

You mean COBOL isn't dead? ;-)

The way I heard it, PL/SQL will go away soon after COBOL does.
