4. •Business Services: Represents the core services designed to execute specific
business functionalities. Business services are further broken down into:
• Contract: Defines the service interface (e.g., APIs) and how external
systems interact with the service.
• Implementation: The actual code or functionality that fulfills the service's
purpose.
• Interface: The mechanisms or protocols (e.g., REST, SOAP) used to
access the service.
• Data: Represents the underlying data that the service processes.
• Business Logic: Encapsulates the functional rules or algorithms the service
implements.
•Service Repository: A centralized storage system where all services and their
metadata are registered. It helps in discovering and managing services.
•Enterprise Service Bus (ESB): Acts as a communication backbone to enable
message routing, data transformation, and service orchestration across the SOA
ecosystem.
•Governance: Involves policies, security, monitoring, and compliance to ensure
that services operate within defined rules and standards.
•Front-End: Represents the client-facing applications or user interfaces that
consume the services provided by the architecture.
7. Types of Patterns in SOA
• Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), design
patterns provide reusable solutions to
common problems encountered during the
implementation of services. These patterns
help ensure that the architecture is scalable,
maintainable, and efficient.
8. 1. Architectural Patterns
These patterns describe how to organize and structure the overall SOA system:
• Service Composition:
• Focuses on combining multiple services to form a single composite service.
• Example: A payment processing system that uses authentication, billing, and notification
services.
• Service Bus:
• Implements an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) for communication between distributed
services.
• Ensures scalability and supports message routing, transformation, and protocol mediation.
• Service Broker:
• Acts as an intermediary to decouple the service consumer and provider.
• Example: A registry service that helps locate and interact with available services.
• Event-Driven SOA:
• Services interact through event notifications rather than direct requests.
• Ideal for real-time or asynchronous processing.
9. 2. Design Patterns
• These patterns address the implementation of individual services and their interactions:
• Service Contract Patterns:
• Canonical Protocol:
• Ensures all services use the same protocol for communication (e.g., SOAP, REST).
• Standardized Service Contract:
• Defines clear and consistent contracts to ensure interoperability.
• Service Interaction Patterns:
• Asynchronous Request-Reply:
• Allows the consumer to continue processing while waiting for the provider’s response.
• Service Callback:
• Enables services to notify consumers when specific events occur.
• Service Implementation Patterns:
• Service Façade:
• Creates a simplified interface for a complex service to abstract its complexity.
• Service Gateway:
• Handles transformations, protocol mediation, and security checks when integrating with external systems.
• Service Messaging Patterns:
• Message Routing:
• Routes service requests to appropriate providers using routing rules.
• Message Transformation:
• Converts messages between different formats (e.g., XML to JSON).
10. 3. Security Patterns
• These patterns ensure the security and integrity of the SOA
ecosystem:
• Service Perimeter Guard:
• Protects services by enforcing security measures at the network
boundary.
• Example: Firewalls, intrusion detection systems.
• Data Confidentiality:
• Encrypts messages to ensure secure transmission between services.
• Identity Propagation:
• Ensures that user identities are passed across services to maintain
access control consistency.
11. 4. Governance Patterns
• These patterns focus on managing and monitoring
services in SOA:
• Service Registry:
• Maintains a centralized repository for discovering, registering,
and managing services.
• Policy Centralization:
• Ensures that all services adhere to a uniform set of policies
(e.g., security, usage limits).
• Versioning:
• Manages different versions of services to avoid disruptions
when services are updated.
12. 5. Deployment and Scalability Patterns
• These patterns focus on the distribution and scalability
of services:
• Service Load Balancing:
• Distributes incoming requests across multiple service
instances to ensure high availability and performance.
• Service Replication:
• Creates replicas of services for scalability and fault tolerance.
• Service Virtualization:
• Abstracts service implementations, allowing multiple logical
services to share a single physical service instance.
13. 6. Integration Patterns
• These patterns enable SOA to integrate with external or
legacy systems:
• Adapter Pattern:
• Bridges communication between incompatible systems (e.g.,
legacy systems and modern services).
• Service Gateway:
• Mediates integration with third-party systems by handling
protocol and data format conversions.
• Publish-Subscribe Pattern:
• Services publish events that other services (subscribers)
consume, facilitating decoupled interactions.
14. 7. Monitoring and Resiliency Patterns
• These patterns focus on ensuring service reliability and
detecting issues:
• Service Monitoring:
• Continuously tracks service health, performance, and usage.
• Circuit Breaker:
• Prevents cascading failures by halting requests to a failing
service temporarily.
• Retry Pattern:
• Automatically retries failed service calls to ensure resiliency.
