Integration Challenges
• Users want to execute business
functions that span multiple applications
• Requires disparate applications to be
connected to a common integration
solution
• However:

Networks are slow
Networks are unreliable
No two applications are alike
Change is Inevitable

Message-Oriented Middleware
Message-oriented architectures provide loose
coupling and reliability

¾ Remove location
• Channels are separate from

• Channels are asynchronous & ¾ Remove temporal
dependencies

¾ Remove data format
• Data is exchanged in selfdependencies

• Each consumer has its own reply queue
• How does the provider know where to send the reply?
– Could send to all consumers Æ very inefficient
– Hard code Æ violates principle of context-free service

• Request message can be consumed by more than one
service provider
• Point-to-Point Channel supports Competing Consumers,
only one service receives each request message

• How to match request and

– Only send one request at a

Identifier
• Equip each message with a unique identifier
– Message ID (simple, but has limitations)
– GUID (Globally Unique ID)
– Business key (e.g. Order ID)
• Provider copies the ID to the reply message
• Consumer can match request and response

• Connect individual processing steps (filters) with message
channels (pipes)
– Pipes decouple sender and receiver
– Participants are unaware of intermediaries
– Compose patterns into larger solutions

• Each provider can only handle specific type of message
• Route request to the “appropriate” provider based on the
content of the request message
– Do not want to burden sender with decision (decoupling)
– Letting each consumer “pick out” desired messages requires
distributed coordination

• How can we process a message if it contains multiple
elements, each of which may have to be processed in a
different way?
– Treat each element independently
– Need to avoid missing or duplicate elements
– Make efficient use of network resources

• Use a stateful filter, an Aggregator, to collect and store
individual messages until a complete set of related
messages has been received.
– Aggregator publishes a single message distilled from the
individual messages.
– Correlation
– Completeness Condition
– Aggregation Algorithm

• Send a message to a dynamic set of recipients,
and return a single message that incorporates the
responses.

System Management
• Messaging systems are asynchronous and
distributed
– Multiple platforms
– Difficult to detect errors
– Difficult to configure (property file hell)
• How can we effectively administer a messaging
system that is distributed across multiple
platforms and a wide geographic area?

• Cannot switch to Publish-Subscribe-Channel because

• A Smart Proxy stores original Return Address and
replaces it with a fixed channel address
• Intercepts reply messages and forwards them to correct
channel
• Allows analysis of request and reply messages

In Summary…
• Visual and verbal language to describe
integration solutions
• Combine patterns to describe larger solutions
• No fancy tools – whiteboard or PowerPoint
• No vendor jargon
• Not a precise specification language
– (e.g., see OMG UML Profile for EAI)
• Not a new “methodology”
• Each pattern describes trade-offs and
considerations not included in this overview
