Composition Endpoints
Composition Endpoints
How can a composition facilitate an increased range of consumer
requirements?
|
Problem
Service compositions are
often created to automate a specific parent task. When variations of this
task emerge, new compositions are assembled, leading to a potentially bloated
composition inventory.
|
|
Solution
A single composition can be
equipped with multiple endpoints that accommodate a range of consumers and
input values.
|
|
Application
Several design techniques
can be employed to incorporate new endpoints. The Concurrent Contracts or
Denormalized Contract patterns may need to be applied to the composition.
|
Consequences
To facilitate a range of
input values increases the complexity of the composition logic and further
increases the governance effort of the composition.

Contributor Notes
This design pattern has been
successfully applied, but not yet widely enough to be considered a proven
pattern. It will remain a candidate for some time until it has been fully
validated and there is a clear need for it.
