Dear List members,
Please find enclosed a link covering the Messaging Design Pattern: http://freedom.lunarpages.com/pattern/messaging.htm Any feedback would be appreciated, Ed Messaging Design Pattern Intent: The messaging design pattern allows the interchange of information (i.e. messages) between components and applications. Motivations (forces): This design pattern can be applied to solve a great variety of problems in many diverse scenarios. A messaging paradigm is widely used in the real world. Messages are interchanged all around us. Entities are constantly sending, receiving and processing messages. Human beings for instance: when we watch TV, when we talk to a friend, talk over the phone, or send an email message. Right now, you are reading this written message. Since computer applications seek to model the real world, it is only natural to design and write applications using a messaging approach. We can argue that messaging provides a better and more accurate representation (i.e. model) of the real world. As a consequence, software engineering processes are significantly improved by the use of the messaging design pattern.
