| Message
exchange patterns (MEP) are a type of design pattern that describe
distributed communications. The patterns describe the interactions
between the different participants on the network (multiple clients,
multiple servers).
|
Common MEP’s
include:
One-Way (I send you a message and don’t
expect a response)
And…
Request-Response (I send you
a message and expect a response)
These obviously are the simplest cases and more
complicate patterns are formed from these building blocks. |
