Arcitura Education S90.08B Exam - Topic 1 Question 2 Discussion

Actual exam question for Arcitura Education's S90.08B exam

Question #: 2
Topic #: 1

Refer to Exhibit.

Service Consumer A sends a message to Service A (1), which then forwards the message to Service B (2). Service B forwards the message to Service C (3), which finally forwards the message to Service D (4). However, Services A, B and C each contain logic that reads the contents of the message to determine what intermediate processing to perform and which service to forward the message to. As a result, what is shown in the diagram is only one of several possible runtime scenarios.

Currently, this service composition architecture is performing adequately, despite the number of services that can be involved in the transmission of one message. However, you are told that new logic is being added to Service A that will require it to compose one other service to retrieve new data at runtime that Service A will need access to in order to determine where to forward the message to. The involvement of the additional service will make the service composition too large and slow.

What steps can be taken to improve the service composition architecture while still accommodating the new requirements and avoiding an increase in the amount of service composition members?

AThe Service Instance Routing pattern can be applied to introduce a Routing service to provide a centralized service to contain routing-related business rules. This new Routing service can be accessed by Service A and Service C so they can determine where to forward messages to at runtime. The Service Reusability principle can be further applied to ensure that the logic in all remaining services is designed to be multi-purpose and reusable.

BThe Asynchronous Queuing pattern can be applied together with a Routing service that is invoked by messages read from a messaging queue. This new Routing service can replace Service B and can be accessed by Service A and Service C so they can determine where to forward messages to at runtime. The Service Loose Coupling principle can be further applied to ensure that the new Routing service remains decoupled from other services so that it can perform its routing functions independently from service contract invocation.

CThe Intermediate Routing pattern can be applied together with the Service Agent pattern by removing Service B or Service C from the service composition and replacing it with a service agent capable of intercepting and forwarding the message at runtime based on pre-defined routing logic. The Service Discoverability principle can be further applied to ensure that Service A can be found by any future service consumers.

DThe Intermediate Routing pattern can be applied together with the Service Agent pattern to establish a service agent capable of intercepting and forwarding the message at runtime based on pre-defined routing logic. The Service Composability principle can be further applied to ensure that all services are designed as effective service composition participants.

Suggested Answer: B

This solution addresses the issue of the service composition becoming too large and slow by introducing a new Routing service that is invoked by messages read from a messaging queue. This allows Service A and Service C to determine where to forward messages to at runtime without the need for additional services in the composition. The Service Loose Coupling principle is applied to ensure that the new Routing service remains decoupled from other services so that it can perform its routing functions independently from service contract invocation.

Whoa, this is a tough one. I'm feeling a little lost, but I'm going to give it my best shot and see what I can figure out.
