Question 1 SOA S90.08B
QUESTION DESCRIPTION:

S90.08B Q1

Service A sends a message to Service B (1). After Service B writes the message contents to Database A (2), it issues a response message back to Service A (3). Service A then sends a message to Service C (4). Upon receiving this message, Service C sends a message to Service D (5), which then writes the message contents to Database B (6) and issues a response message back to Service C (7).

Service A and Service D are located in Service Inventory A. Service B and Service C are located in Service Inventory B.

You are told that In this service composition architecture, all four services are exchanging invoice-related data in an XML format. However, the services in Service Inventory A are standardized to use a different XML schema for invoice data than the services in Service Inventory B. Also, Database A can only accept data in the Comma Separated Value (CSV) format and therefore cannot accept XML-formatted data. Database B only accepts XML-formatted data. However, it is a legacy database that uses a proprietary XML schema to represent invoice data that is different from the XML schema used by services in Service Inventory A or Service Inventory B.

What steps can be taken to enable the planned data exchange between these four services?

  • A.

    The Data Model Transformation pattern can be applied so that data model transformation logic is positioned between Service A and Service B, between Service C and Service D, and between the Service D logic and Database B. The Data Format Transformation pattern can be applied so that data format transformation logic is positioned between Service A and Service C, and between the Service B logic and Database A.

  • B.

    The Protocol Bridging pattern can be applied so that protocol conversion logic is positioned between the Service B logic and Database A. The Data Format Transformation pattern can be applied so that data format transformation logic is positioned between Service A and Service B, between Service A and Service C, between Service C and Service D, and between the Service D logic and Database B.

  • C.

    The Data Model Transformation pattern can be applied so that data model transformation logic is positioned between Service A and Service B, between Service A and Service C, between Service C and Service D, and between the Service D logic and Database B. The Data Format Transformation pattern can be applied so that data format transformation logic is positioned between the Service B logic and Database A.

  • D.

    The Protocol Bridging pattern can be applied so that protocol conversion logic is positioned between Service A and Service B, between Service A and Service C, and between Service C and Service D. The Data Format Transformation pattern can be applied so that data format transformation logic is positioned between the Service B logic and Database A and between the Service D logic and Database B.

Correct Answer & Rationale:

Answer: C

Explanation:

This solution addresses the two main challenges in the service composition architecture: the different XML schema used by services in Service Inventory A and Service Inventory B, and the incompatible data formats of the two databases.

By applying the Data Model Transformation pattern, data model transformation logic can be inserted to map the invoice-related data between the different XML schemas used by the services in Service Inventory A and Service Inventory B. This can be done at the appropriate points in the message flow: between Service A and Service B, between Service A and Service C, between Service C and Service D, and between the Service D logic and Database B.

By applying the Data Format Transformation pattern, data format transformation logic can be inserted to convert the XML-formatted data used by the services to the CSV format required by Database A, and to convert the proprietary XML schema used by Database B to the XML schema used by the services. This can be done between the Service B logic and Database A.

The Protocol Bridging pattern is not necessary in this case because all services are already communicating using the same protocol (presumably HTTP or a similar protocol).

Question 2 SOA S90.08B
QUESTION DESCRIPTION:

S90.08B Q2

Service A is a task service that sends Service B a message (2) requesting that Service B return data back to Service A in a response message (3). Depending on the response received, Service A may be required to send a message to Service C (4) for which it requires no response.

Before it contacts Service B, Service A must first retrieve a list of code values from its own database (1) and then place this data into its own memory. If it turns out that it must send a message to Service C, then Service A must combine the data it receives from Service B with the data from the code value list in order to create the message it sends to Service C. If Service A is not required to invoke Service C, it can complete its task by discarding the code values.

Service A and Service C reside in Service Inventory A. Service B resides in Service Inventory B.

You are told that the services in Service Inventory A were designed with service contracts that are based on different design standards and technologies than the services In Service Inventory B. As a result, Service A is a SOAP-based Web service and Service B Is a REST service that exchanges JSON-formatted messages. Therefore, Service A and Service B cannot currently communicate. Furthermore, Service C is an agnostic service that is heavily accessed by many concurrent service consumers. Service C frequently reaches its usage thresholds, during which it is not available and messages sent to it are not received.

What steps can be taken to solve these problems?

  • A.

    The Data Model Transformation pattern can be applied by establishing an intermediate processing layer between Service A and Service B that can transform a message from one data model to another at runtime. The Intermediate Routing and Service Agent patterns can be applied so that when Service B sends a response message, a service agent can intercept the message and, based on its contents, either forward the message to Service A or route the

  • B.

    The Data Format Transformation pattern can be applied by establishing an intermediate processing layer between Service A and Service B that can transform a message from one data format to another at runtime. The Asynchronous Queuing pattern can be applied to establish an intermediate queue between Service A and Service C so that when Service A needs to send a message to Service C, the queue will store the message and retransmit it to Servic

The Asynchronous Queuing pattern can be applied to establish an intermediate queue between Service A and Service B so that when Service A needs to send a message to Service B, the queue will store the message and retransmit it to Servic

Correct Answer & Rationale:

Answer: B

Explanation:

The problem is that Service A and Service B are using different technologies and cannot communicate. Therefore, an intermediate processing layer can be established that can transform messages from one data format to another at runtime. This can be achieved using the Data Format Transformation pattern.

Additionally, Service C frequently reaches its usage thresholds and is not always available, so an Asynchronous Queuing pattern can be applied to establish an intermediate queue between Service A and Service C. This queue will store the messages sent by Service A to Service C and retransmit them until they are successfully delivered. This approach improves the reliability of the system.

Moreover, the Redundant Implementation pattern can be applied to Service C to ensure its availability and scalability, and the Service Autonomy principle can be applied to make Service C independent of other services.

Question 3 SOA S90.08B
QUESTION DESCRIPTION:

S90.08B Q3

Service A, Service B, and Service C are entity services, each designed to access the same shared legacy system. Service A manages order entities, Service B manages invoice entities, and Service C manages customer entities. Service A, Service B, and Service C are REST services and are frequently reused by different service compositions. The legacy system uses a proprietary file format that Services A, B, and C need to convert to and from.

You are told that compositions involving Service A, Service B, and Service C are unnecessarily complicated due to the fact that order, invoice, and customer entitles are all related to each other. For example, an order has a customer, an invoice has an order, and so on. This results In calls to multiple services to reconstruct a complete order document. You are asked to architect a solution that will simplify the composition logic by minimizing the number of services required to support simple business functions like order management or bill payment. Additionally, you are asked to reduce the amount of redundant data transformation logic that is found in Services A, B, and C.

How will you accomplish these goals?

  • A.

    The Enterprise Service Bus pattern can be applied to introduce an intermediate processing layer between Services A, B, and C and the legacy system. The enterprise service bus can be used to consolidate and execute the necessary transformation logic currently held within the services. The Endpoint Redirection pattern can be applied to re-route calls from one service to another to provide access to related entity data.

  • B.

    The Legacy Wrapper pattern can be applied to create a service to expose the legacy system through a standardized service contract. The core logic of the wrapping service would provide all necessary data transformation functionality to convert between inventory-standardized data representations and the proprietary format. The Lightweight Endpoint pattern can be applied to establish lightweight capabilities that can return related entity data

Correct Answer & Rationale:

Answer: B

Explanation:

The Lightweight Endpoint pattern can be applied to establish lightweight capabilities that can return related entity data directly to service consumers, simplifying the composition logic by minimizing the number of services required to support simple business functions like order management or bill payment. This approach provides a standardized and simplified interface for the legacy system, reducing the complexity of the integration process with the entity services, and enabling them to focus on their core functionality.

Question 4 SOA S90.08B
QUESTION DESCRIPTION:

S90.08B Q4

Service Consumer A sends Service A a message containing a business document (1). The business document is received by Component A, which keeps the business document in memory and forwards a copy to Component B (3). Component B first writes portions of the business document to Database A (4). Component B then writes the entire business document to Database B and uses some of the data values from the business document as query parameters to retrieve new data from Database B (5).

Next, Component B returns the new date* back to Component A (6), which merges it together with the original business document it has been keeping in memory and then writes the combined data to Database C (7). The Service A service capability invoked by Service Consumer A requires a synchronous request-response data exchange. Therefore, based on the outcome of the last database update, Service A returns a message with a success or failure code back to Service Consumer A (8).

Databases A and B are shared, and Database C is dedicated to the Service A service architecture.

There are several problems with this architecture. The business document that Component A is required to keep in memory (while it waits for Component B to complete its processing) can be very large. The amount of runtime resources Service A uses to keep this data in memory can decrease the overall performance of all service instances, especially when it is concurrently invoked by multiple service consumers. Additionally, Service A can take a long time to respond back to Service Consumer A because Database A is a shared database that sometimes takes a long time to respond to Component B. Currently, Service Consumer A will wait for up to 30 seconds for a response, after which it will assume the request to Service A has failed and any subsequent response messages from Service A will be rejected.

What steps can be taken to solve these problems?

  • A.

    The Service Statelessness principle can be applied together with the State Repository pattern to extend Database C so that it also becomes a state database allowing Component A to temporarily defer the business document data while it waits for a response from Component B. The Service Autonomy principle can be applied together with the Legacy Wrapper pattern to isolate Database A so that it is encapsulated by a separate wrapper utility servi

  • B.

    The Service Statelessness principle can be applied together with the State Repository pattern to establish a state database to which Component A can defer the business document data to while it waits for a response from Component B. The Service Autonomy principle can be applied together with the Service Data Replication pattern to establish a dedicated replicated database for Component B to access instead of shared Database A. The Asynchron

  • C.

    The Service Statelessness principle can be applied together with the State Repository pattern to establish a state database to which Component A can defer the business document data while it waits for a response from Component B. The Service Autonomy principle can be applied together with the Service Abstraction principle, the Legacy Wrapper pattern, and the Service Fagade pattern in order to isolate Database A so that it is encapsulated by

  • D.

    None of the above.

Correct Answer & Rationale:

Answer: B

Explanation:

The problems with the current architecture can be addressed by applying the following patterns:

    Service Statelessness principle and State Repository pattern - This pattern allows Component A to defer the business document data to a state database while it waits for a response from Component B. This helps reduce the amount of runtime resources Service A uses to keep the data in memory and improves overall performance.

    Service Autonomy principle and Service Data Replication pattern - This pattern allows Component B to access a dedicated replicated database instead of the shared Database A, which can improve response time.

    Asynchronous Queuing pattern - This pattern allows Service A to use a message queue to communicate with Service Consumer A asynchronously. This means that Service Consumer A does not need to remain stateful while waiting for a response from Service A, which can improve overall performance and scalability.

Therefore, option B is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because it suggests using the Compensating Service Transaction pattern to raise awareness of the eventual response rejection, which does not actually solve the problem. Option C is also incorrect because it suggests using multiple patterns, which may not be necessary and can add unnecessary complexity to the architecture.

Question 5 SOA S90.08B
QUESTION DESCRIPTION:

S90.08B Q5

Our service inventory contains the following three services that provide Invoice-related data access capabilities: Invoice, InvProc and Proclnv. These services were created at different times by different project teams and were not required to comply with any design standards. Therefore, each of these services has a different data model for representing invoice data.

Currently, each of these three services has a different service consumer: Service Consumer A accesses the Invoice service (1), Service Consumer B (2) accesses the InvProc service, and Service Consumer C (3) accesses the Proclnv service. Each service consumer invokes a data access capability of an invoice-related service, requiring that service to interact with the shared accounting database that is used by all invoice-related services (4, 5, 6).

Additionally, Service Consumer D was designed to access invoice data from the shared accounting database directly (7). (Within the context of this architecture, Service Consumer D is labeled as a service consumer because it is accessing a resource that is related to the illustrated service architectures.)

Assuming that the Invoice service, InvProc service and Proclnv service are part of the same service inventory, what steps would be required to fully apply the Official Endpoint pattern?

  • A.

    One of the invoice-related services needs to be chosen as the official service providing invoice data

    access capabilities. Service Consumers A, B, and C then need to be redesigned to only access the chosen invoice-related service. Because Service Consumer D does not rely on an invoice-related service, it is not affected by the Official Endpoint pattern and can continue to access the accounting database directly. The Service Abstractio

  • B.

    One of the invoice-related services needs to be chosen as the official service providing invoice data access capabilities and logic from the other two services needs to be moved to execute within the context of the official Invoice service. Service Consumers A, B, and C then need to be redesigned to only access the chosen invoice-related service. Service Consumer D also needs to be redesigned to not access the shared accounting database dir

  • C.

    Because Service Consumers A, B, and C are already carrying out their data access via published contracts, they are not affected by the Official Endpoint pattern. Service Consumer D needs to be redesigned so that it does not access the shared accounting database directly, but instead performs its data access by interacting with the official invoice-related service. The Service Abstraction principle can be further applied to hide the existenc

  • D.

    One of the invoice-related services needs to be chosen as the official service providing invoice data access capabilities. Because Service Consumer D does not rely on an invoice-related service, it is not affected by the Official Endpoint pattern and can continue to access the accounting database directly. The Service Loose Coupling principle can be further applied to decouple Service Consumers A, B, and C from the shared accounting databa

Correct Answer & Rationale:

Answer: B

Explanation:

he Legacy Wrapper pattern can be applied so that Component B is separated into a separate utility service that wraps the shared database. The Legacy Wrapper pattern can be applied again so that Component C is separated into a separate utility service that acts as a wrapper for the legacy system API. The Legacy Wrapper pattern can be applied once more to Component D so that it is separated into another utility service that provides standardized access to the file folder. The Service Facade pattern can be applied so that three facade components are added: one between Component A and each of the new wrapper utility services. This way, the facade components can compensate for any change in behavior that may occur as a result of the separation. The Service Composability principle can be further applied to Service A and the three new wrapper utility services so that all four services are optimized for participation in the new service composition. This will help make up for any performance loss that may result from splitting the three components into separate services.

By applying the Legacy Wrapper pattern to separate Components B, C, and D into three different utility services, the shared resources within the IT enterprise (Database A, the legacy system, and the file folders) can be properly encapsulated and managed by dedicated services. The Service Facade pattern can then be used to create a facade component between Component A and each of the new wrapper utility services, allowing them to interact seamlessly without affecting Service Consumer A ' s behavior.

Finally, the Service Composability principle can be applied to ensure that Service A and the three new wrapper utility services are optimized for participation in the new service composition. This will help to mitigate any performance loss that may result from splitting the three components into separate services.
