Dynamic endpoint resolution using the Managed Services Engine
On my previous post I've listed some of the reasons because of which I believe Microsoft's Managed Services Engine (MSE) can be really useful in Enterprise SOA applications. The existing documentation of MSE emphasizes in the role this technology can play in design time governance scenarios but there is very little about its applicability in runtime governance scenarios. However, in this release MSE already includes various features that can serve as the foundation of future runtime governance technologies. It is not a secret that service repositories are at the center of every SOA governance technologies. Normally, these repositories catalog different service components such as contracts, binding, endpoints, etc. The centralized and/or federated (I honestly think that federated repositories are the future of SOA Governance technologies. But that's content for another post J) storage of endpoints is particularly useful to enterprise applications that need to dynamically resolve those components at runtime. The classical example is an application that queries the repository to find the endpoint of a specific service.
