VM and service dependencies

[gopeshdesai2013]

We have a set of business services that are implemented using apache camel and exposed as cxf endpoints (

Although this approach works and avoids overhead associated with HTTP and SOAP protocols when calling utility service through its web service endpoint, I see an issue with it - business service is now tied to implementation of utility service. If the name of the route in utility service were to change, it would break the consuming business service.

Question

=======

What is the best approach to implement such dependencies that does not compromise service best practices.

Hi,

How about  implement the utility service as a bean and from the business service implementations you just invoke this bean?

Thanks, Freeman! Bean approach would work. My service implementation is in camel and it is currently configured in xml. I can setup a camel proxy that would invoke the route in utility service.
