Integration Styles: How can I integrate multiple applications so that they work together and can exchange information?
- File Transfer (43)
- Shared Database (47)
- Remote Procedure Invocation (50)
- Messaging (53)
Messaging Systems
- Message Channel (60): How does one application communicate with another using messaging?
- Message (66): How can two applications connected by a message channel exchange a piece of information?
- Pipes and Filters (70): How can we perform complex processing on a message while maintaining independence and flexibility?
- Message Router (78): How can you decouple individual processing steps so that messages can be passed to different filters depending on a set of conditions?
- Message Translator (85): How can systems using different data formats communicate with each other using messaging?
- Message Endpoint (95): How does an application connect to a messaging channel to send and receive Messages (66)?
Messaging Channels
- Point-to-Point Channel (103): How can the caller be sure that exactly one receiver will receive the document or perform the call?
- Publish-Subscribe Channel (106): How can the sender broadcast an event to all interested receivers?
- Datatype Channel (111): How can the application send a data item such that the receiver will know how to process it?
- Invalid Message Channel (115): How can a messaging receiver gracefully handle receiving a message that makes no sense?
- Dead Letter Channel (119): What will the messaging system do with a message it cannot deliver?
- Guaranteed Delivery (122): How can the sender make sure that a message will be delivered even if the messaging system fails?
- Channel Adapter (127): How can you connect an application to the messaging system so that it can send and receive messages?
- Messaging Bridge (133): How can multiple messaging systems be connected so that messages available on one are also available on the others?
- Message Bus (137): What architecture enables separate applications to work together but in a decoupled fashion such that applications can be easily added or removed without affecting the others?
Message Construction
- Command Message (145): How can messaging be used to invoke a procedure in another application?
- Document Message (147): How can messaging be used to transfer data between applications?
- Event Message (151): How can messaging be used to transmit events from one application to another?
- Request-Reply (154): When an application sends a message, how can it get a response form the receiver?
- Return Address (159): How does a replier know where to send the reply?
- Correlation Identifier (163): How does a requestor that has received a reply know which request this is the reply for?
- Message Sequence (170): How can messaging transmit an arbitrarily large amount of data?
- Message Expiration (176): How can a sender indicate when a message should be considered stale and thus shouldn't be processed?
- Format Indicator (180): How can a message's data format be designed to allow for possible future changes?
Message Routing
- Content-Based Router (230): How do we handle a situation in which the implementation of a single logical function is spread across multiple physical systems?
- Message Filter (237): How can a component avoid receiving uninteresting messages?
- Dynamic Router (243): How can you avoid the dependency of the router on all possible destinations while maintaining its efficiency?
- Recipient List (249): How do we route a message to a dynamic list of recipients?
- Splitter (259): How can we process a message if it contains multiple elements, each of which may have to be processed in a different way?
- Aggregator (268): How do we combine the results of individual but related message so that they can be processed as a whole?
- Resequencer (283): How can we get a stream of related but out-of-sequence messages back into the correct order?
- Composed Message Processor (294): How can yo maintain the overall message flow when processing a message consisting of multiple elements, each of which may require different processing?
- Scatter-Gather (297): How do you maintain the overall message flow when a message must be sent to multiple recipients, each of which may send a reply?
- Routing Slip (301): How do we route a message consecutively through a series of processing steps when the sequence of steps is not known at design time and may vary for each message?
- Process Manager (312): How do we route a message through multiple processing steps when the required steps may not be known at design time and may not be sequential?
- Message Broker (322): How can you decouple the destination of a message from the sender and maintain central control over the flow of messages?
Message Transformation
- Envelope Wrapper (330): How can existing systems participate in a messaging exchange that places specific requirements, such as message header fields or encryption, on the message format?
- Content Enricher (336): How do we communicate with another system if the message originator does not have all the required data items available?
- Content Filter (342): How do you simplify dealing with a large message when you are interested only in a few data items?
- Claim Check (346): How can we reduce the data volume of messages sent across the system without sacrificing information content?
- Normalizer (352): How do you process messages that are semantically equivalent but arrive in a different format?
- Canonical Data Model (355): How can you minimize dependencies when integrating applications that use different data formats?
Messaging Endpoints
- Messaging Gateway (468): How do you encapsulate access to the messaging system from the rest of the application?
- Messaging Mapper (477): How do you move data between domain objects and the messaging infrastructure while keeping the two independent of one another?
- Transactional Client (484): How can a client control its transactions with the messaging system?
- Polling Consumer (494): How can an application consume a message when the application is ready?
- Event-Driven Consumer (498): How can an application automatically consume messages as they become available?
- Competing Consumers (502): How can a messaging client process multiple messages concurrently?
- Message Dispatcher (508): How can multiple consumers on a single channel coordinate their message processing?
- Selective Consumer (515): How can a message consumer select which messages it wishes to receive?
- Durable Subscriber (522): How can a subscriber avoid missing messages while it's not listening for them?
- Idempotent Receiver (528): How can a message receiver deal with duplicate messages?
- Service Activator (532): How can an application design a service to be invoked both via various messaging technologies and via non-messaging techniques?
System Management
- Control Bus (540): How can we effectively administer a messaging system that is distributed across multiple platforms and a wide geographic area?
- Detour (545): How can you route a message through intermediate steps to perform validation, testing, or debugging functions?
- Wire Tap (547): How do you inspect messages that travel on a Point-to-Point Channel (103)?
- Message History (551): How can we effectively analyze and debug the flow of messages in a loosely coupled system?
- Message Store (555): How can we report against message information without disturbing the loosely coupled and transient nature of a messaging system?
- Smart Proxy (558): How can you track messages on a service that publishes reply messages to the Return Address specified by the requestor?
- Test Message (569): What happens if a component is actively processing messages but garbles outgoing messages due to an internal fault?
- Channel Purger (572): How can you keep leftover messages on a channel from disturbing tests or running systems?
