2. Data Connectivity Challenges
The evolution to more engaging rich Internet applications (RIAs) has
created the need for better data connectivity options
Performance is not sufficient with XML/SOAP over HTTP for rich clients
Inability to easily reuse existing server-side business logic
No standard way to push data from server to client
No real messaging model to exchange data between clients and servers
Complex and inconsistent programming models to access remote data
