PLEASE NOTE
The content on this page is from the first draft of the manuscript for the upcoming book "SOA Design Patterns" by Thomas Erl. This version of the manuscript was authored in September, 2007. Since then, the manuscript has undergone significant content and structural changes as a result of an industry-wide review in which hundreds of SOA practitioners participated in addition to SOA vendors and experts from the design patterns community.
You are welcome to use the information on this page for research purposes, but you should assume that most of it will change in the final release of the "SOA Design Patterns" book.
Note also, that as a result of an industry-wide call for participation from December 2007 to February 2008, over 30 new design patterns have been contributed to this book. As they become finalized and are incorporated by the author, concise descriptions will be published on this site, and full descriptions with examples will be made available in the final, printed book.
Due to the volume of new content and changes, the release of the "SOA Design Patterns" book has been postponed to October, 2008. To learn more about the book, visit www.soapatterns.com. To be notified of updates to this site, use the notification form.

Candidate Patterns

Home >
Candidate Patterns
|
This part of the site is dedicated to unproven and theoretical design patterns only. These can be ideas for new patterns or design patterns that have been successfully applied, but not yet to the extent that they can be considered fully proven. You can submit your own design patterns via the Candidate Pattern Contribution Form.

The listed patterns are in various stages of development and therefore not as comprehensively documented as the patterns that are part of the formal SOA design pattern catalog. Note that not all patterns are proposed for inclusion in the pattern catalog. Several are still subject to public review and may therefore be deemed in appropriate.

You are encouraged to provide feedback regarding these patterns by using the Pattern Feedback Form and selecting "Candidate Pattern" from the Subject drop-down list.

Candidate Patterns (in alphabetical order):

• Canonical Data Format

• Canonical Policy Vocabulary

• Composition Endpoints

• Composition Extension

• Entity Data Abstraction

• Federated Endpoint Layer

• Policy Enforcement
