10.8. SummaryThis chapter covered the motivations for reliable messaging, including some of L. Peter Deutsch's "Eight Fallacies of Distributed Computing." Reliable messaging has served IT well as a foundation for many enterprise application integration deployments, providing the loose coupling necessary to mitigate against those fallacies. WS-Reliable Messaging promises to bring the benefits of reliable messaging to SOA and Web services, enabling enterprises to extend Web services to support reliable business-to-business (B2B) exchanges. This would replace Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and offer the potential for a single interoperability protocol for the various proprietary Message Oriented Middleware (MOM) protocols. |
