The concept of intelligent business services entails invoking several endpoints that can be dynamically executed using a set of predefined policies. This function can be further enhanced with a runtime capability that allows you to dynamically select an endpoint as an integration pattern. Dynamic Endpoint Selection (DES) is an integration pattern for dynamic service routing. DES enables service requesters and service providers to connect seamlessly by adding to the capabilities of service invocation. DES routes the service requester to an appropriate service endpoint based on an inbound message without modifying the message or the core business logic.
