Design Patterns for SOA-based WCF application

Hi,

I would like to know what Design Patterns I need to be aware off when building an SOA-based application using WCF.

Thanks in advance.

There are many but the core basics that comes to my mind is
- Request/Response (message based patterns)
- Service Locator
- Service Composability (based on composition)
- Brokered Authentication
- Proxy (generated as well as manual)

Hope this helps.

Hi,
There is no limitation in theoretically but when comes to Practical in one site they mention that better to define maximum of 12 operations in Contract.
