Objectives

To be of use, a service must become part of a solution, with some of the required solution functionality being provided by the service. This chapter explores a number of building-block design patterns related to the division of responsibility between the service providers and the solution components that consume those services.

After reading this chapter, you should be able to describe the design patterns related to
