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.

Chapter 4: Understanding SOA Design Patterns Home > Chapter 4 Overview The first step to forming an effective working relationship with the design patterns in this book is attaining a sound comfort level with pattern-related terminology and an understanding of how design patterns relate to other parts of a typical design framework. This chapter covers these fundamental issues and further describes how design pattern descriptions are organized into standardized profiles. The remaining sections single out specific pattern types and discuss a variety of common design considerations. This chapter contains the following sections: 4.1 Fundamental Design Terminology (not published on this site) 4.2 Historical Influences (not published on this site) 4.3 Pattern Notation 4.4 Pattern Profiles 4.5 Types of Patterns (not published on this site) 4.6 Key Terms and Design Considerations 4.7 Case Study Background (not published on this site) Prev | Next
