Question

Service A sends a message to Service B (1). After Service B writes the message contents to Database A (2) it issues a response message back to Service A (3). Service A then sends a message to Service C (4). Upon receiving this message, Service C sends a message to Service D (5), which then writes the message contents to Database B (6) and issues a response message back to Service C (7). Service A and Service D are in Service Inventory A . Service B and Service C are in Service Inventory B .

You are told that in this service composition architecture, all four services are exchanging invoice related data in an XML format. However, the services in Service Inventory A are standardized to use a different XML schema for invoice data than the services in Service Inventory B . Also, Database A can only accept data in the Comma Separated Value (CSV) format and therefore cannot accept XML formatted data. Database B only accepts XML formatted data. However, it is a legacy database that uses a proprietary XML schema to represent invoice data that is different from the XML schema used by services in Service Inventory A or Service Inventory B . What steps can be taken to enable the planned data exchange between these four services?

C) The Data Model Transformation pattern can be applied so that data model transformation logic is positioned between Service A and Service B, between Service A and Service C, between Service C and Service D, and between the Service D logic and Database B . The Data Format Transformation pattern can be applied so that data format transformation logic is positioned between the Service B logic and Database A .
