Messaging Patterns

Catalog of 65 Patterns

• Integration Styles document different ways applications can be integrated, providing a historical account of integration technologies. 

• Channel Patterns describe how messages are transported across a Message Channel. 

• Message Construction Patterns describe the intent, form and content of the messages that travel across the messaging system. The base pattern for this section is the Message pattern.

• Routing Patterns discuss how messages are routed from a sender to the correct receiver. Message routing patterns consume a message from one channel and republish it message, usually without modification, to another channel based on a set of conditions. 

• Transformation Patterns change the content of a message, for example to accommodate different data formats used by the sending and the receiving system. Data may have to be added, taken away or existing data may have to be rearranged. 

• Endpoint Patterns describe how messaging system clients produce or consume messages.

• System Management Patterns describe the tools to keep a complex message-based system running, including dealing with error conditions, performance bottlenecks and changes in the participating systems.
