antipattern

As with any other situation where best practices are violated, the root cause of this antipattern is the lack of good design.

The need to implement a large number of too finely grained services is an indication that this antipattern is being applied.

Failure to identify common services or lack of realizing service sharing is also a clear indication that this antipattern has being applied.

This split in responsibilities across the reference architecture was the root cause of the observed antipattern.

Furthermore, reuse between stake-holders of different applications diminishes or is completely eliminated as a result of this antipattern.

This lack of understanding is one of the basic root causes of this antipattern.

The context for the occurrence of this antipattern is a circumstance where the SOA paradigm is relatively new for the client organization.

Degradation in performance and costly development are the major consequences of this antipattern.

An antipattern is a literary form that describes a commonly occurring solution to a problem that generates decidedly negative consequences.

This lack of architectural discipline provides an environment that fosters the application of this antipattern.

In most cases, organizational boundaries and constraints are the root cause of this antipattern.

A common symptom of this antipattern is the inability of the sponsors to articulate the value proposition of SOA adoption.

Unplanned costs due to duplication are also another consequence of this antipattern.

Proliferation of web services is a direct consequence of the application of this antipattern.

Observing that same services are identified by different groups with different names is a symptom of this antipattern.

However, the most effective approach to avoid this antipattern is to define services that map back to business goals.

To eliminate this antipattern, one solution is to develop a business supported roadmap to move towards SOA incrementally.

Like the happy path antipattern, the easy tests antipattern isn't about what is there but rather what isn't.

Commonly occurring: If it isn't a pattern, then it isn't an antipattern.

Lack of design-time coherence (SOA governance model) is the leading cause of this antipattern.

Antipattern is a frequently used, but largely ineffective solution to a problem.

This very basic antipattern, detailed in The Magic Servlet antipattern sidebar, has trapped many of my relatively advanced customers.

Antipattern: Files are managed on team members' machines or stored on shared drives accessible by authorized team members.

The problem presented by this antipattern is a result of the way services are identified.

It is a common DSL antipattern to make fundamental (possibly breaking) changes to core classes of the language.

Root causes for this antipattern fall in two categories.

Antipattern: Some hardcode these values, manually, for each of the target environments, or they might use GUI tools to do the same.

Thus applying this antipattern should be carefully monitored and controls should be put in place to prevent its long term adoption.

They typically capture refactored solution descriptions, showing how to change the antipattern into a healthier solution.

Here's how to view this as an antipattern: I've started with a difficult problem.

One way to deal with this antipattern is to emphasize how SOA is different from earlier solutions.

Here you build a protective barrier against the antipattern.

A final factor in the emergence of the antipattern was time pressure on delivery.

Antipattern: Some teams put this information on a shared drive with controlled access.

Name: Sometimes, an antipattern will already have one or more informal names, given from a development community.

The most famous antipattern, Y2K, shows us the peril and the promise of this exciting new field.

Perhaps the most common server-side Java antipattern is the Magic Servlet.

In this article, I'll discuss a tool that can help you navigate a programmer's turbulence: the antipattern.

The antipattern is when the developer stops at happy path tests.

Antipattern: Some may manually configure tasks such as installing and configuring a Web container.

There are some known exceptions for which the antipattern solution is acceptable.

I1: Antipattern name: Web service = SOA (also known as Service Proliferation Syndrome)

R3: Antipattern name: Component-less Services (also known as Logical Layering is Obsolete)

When you document an antipattern, you will want to capture at least these elements

A3: Antipattern name: The Big Bang (also known as: Bite more than you can chew)
