In this example, we see the following types of Participants illustrated:
-
An instance of Manufacturer assembles the other instances into a unit that can be deployed and executed at
run-time;
-
An instance of OrderProcessor realizes the Purchasing service. Purchasing is a composite service, because its operations are realized using functionality
provided by InvoicingService, Scheduling, and Shipping Service;
-
Instances of the Invoicer, Productions, and Shipper Participants also appear. In this case, they realize
InvoicingService, Scheduling, and ShippingService without recourse to invoking other exposed services, thus those
services are atomic services.
Among the four realizing Participants, we ensure that all logic which is business-context-independent is pushed down
into the implementations of the three atomic services.
Below the atomic services, we would also have a further layer in our architecture, that being Operational
Systems. Invoicer, Productions, and Shipper might realize their exposed services by using components
from the Operational Systems layer.
