Exposed Direct Connection
The Exposed Direct Connection application pattern represents the simplest interaction type based on a 1-to-1 topology. It allows a pair of applications to directly communicate with each other across organization boundaries. Interactions between a source and a target application can be arbitrarily complex. Generally, complexity can be addressed by breaking down interactions into more elementary interactions.
Review:
Exposed Broker
The Exposed Broker application pattern (also known as Exposed Business Services) is based on a 1-to-N topology that separates distribution rules from the applications. It allows a single interaction from a partner's source application to be distributed to multiple target partner applications concurrently.
Review:
Exposed Router
The Router variation of the Exposed Broker application pattern applies to solutions where the partner's source application initiates an interaction that is forwarded to, at most, one of multiple target applications. The selection of the target application is controlled by the distribution rules that govern functioning of the connector component.
Review:
Exposed Serial Process
The Exposed Serial Process Application pattern extends the one-to-n topology provided by the Exposed Broker Application pattern by facilitating the sequential execution of business services hosted by a number of target applications. It enables the orchestration of a serial business process across enterprise boundaries, in response to an interaction initiated by the source application.
