In "Java EE .NET Interoperability: Integration Strategy, Patterns, and Best Practices", the Java and .NET interoperability constraints across presentation, business, integration, and resource tiers were raised. Web 2.0 introduces a new layer of complexity to this - where particularly in the mashup scenario, one can be faced with interoperability challenges between the browser and the services layer. With earlier web applications, the browser was tightly knit to a single presentation tier, and its content dictated by this tier. In the case of a mashup, the browser is no longer tightly knit to a single server, and can be receiving content from many diverse ones, including third parties, in order to 'Mash' all the information up into a usable application.
