Abstract
The previous two chapters showed the generic Service-Oriented Architecture pattern and the Architecture Adapter pattern. These patterns illustrated the primary communication paths between services. There was a notable piece of the service-oriented architecture missing from both chapters—an in-depth look at the service directory. The service directory facilitates location transparency in service-oriented architectures. Without the service directory Web Services appear similar to what Java’s Remote Method Invocation (RMI) has to offer: a way to communicate between services using remote protocols.
