Service Broker

(Little, Rischbeck, Simon)



Home > Common Compound Design Patterns > Service Broker


Audio Podcast
This pattern is discussed as part of the audio podcast:

The ESB and Related Messaging Patterns


Although all of the Service Broker patterns are used only out of necessity, establishing an environment capable of handling the three most common transformation requirements can add a great deal of flexibility to a service-oriented architecture implementation, and also has the added bonus of being able to perform more than one transformation function at the same time.



Service Broker is comprised of the co-existent application of Data Model Transformation, Data Format Transformation, and Protocol Bridging.
