public interface Service

Tagging interface of a service definition.

A service is characterized by an interface (extending Service) that defines the service's methods. The service interface is used:

• to separate the service definition from it's implementation to force users to program against the definition (contract) of the service instead of the implementation and
• as a key used by manager classes to get an implementation of the Service without the need of knowing it to enable easy replacement of service implementations (e.g. in large application development this can help to parallize development by writing test-drivers for needed interfaces, that are not yet implemented by team members).

Services (together with some provider's) might be used by:

• communication between dialogs in a dialog hierarchy (or another dialog organization),
• communication between business components,
• client-server communication (in this case all method arguments must be serializable in some way)
