Challenges will first be described, and after a detailed analysis, we will formalize the patterns that are most suitable for solving the problems on hand. Not all SOA patterns related to Orchestration will be covered here; we will focus only on candidates who are most frequently (in our opinion) engaged in the practical implementation of Service Inventory. We have mentioned some of these candidates several times already—it's a Service Broker together with Intermediate Routing that acts as an agnostic Composition Controller.
Tip
These patterns are related to ESB primarily. The telecom example presented in The telecommunication primer section will demonstrate that these patterns are very important for Orchestration as well. There are some more patterns that are not directly related to Orchestration, but without them, it will be impossible to build a reliable EBF framework. Our intention is not to follow the SOA pattern catalog, but rather demonstrate...
