Binding

Binding is used to establish a connection between Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) services and their consumers. They are communication gateways to connect to the external world. They follow a well-known communication protocol that both client and service are aware of.

The two types of binding components are:
  • Service Binding: used to create and expose a service to the external world. The service can contain one or more operations. Once exposed, clients can consume the service.
  • Reference Binding: used to create a client that can connect and communicate to an external service.
