In August’s INTERACT Journal, I briefly alluded to a sample application that Microsoft presented to the TechEd delegates to illustrate their ‘best practice’ application architecture, for building loosely-coupled systems based on BizTalk messages.

However, it worked, it could be done with existing products and sample code, which meant that delegates could go home with the building blocks ready-built. Before I present the architecture overview, a few words about the essential requirements of the system . . |
