Description

The Working Area "Middleware" comprises the facilities that provide (business) application support, like messaging, identity and resource management. Generally they share a couple of characteristics:

  • the functionality is closely related to those of Building Blocks from the Working Area Server;
  • the functionality is usually being shared by multiple applications;
  • the functionality provided is not intended to be used directly, but to support (business) applications.

NB: It is very well possible to move Building Block Types (and their corresponding Variants) to another Working Area, when the architectural authority/responsibility shifts. However Building Blocks should be assigned to only one Working Area at a time!

The following Environments are defined as contexts of facility usage within this Working Area.
Depending on the differences in requirements (quality and type of facilities) demanded per Environment, several Building Block Variants may be defined, check out the specific Environment description pages in the table below to learn more. No Environments found (yet)
