Chapter 11: Consuming External Services in Tuxedo
A Tuxedo application does not live in isolation; it has to interact with other parts of the system and external systems. In Chapter 10, Accessing the Tuxedo Application, we learned how to consume services provided by Tuxedo from other applications. Now we will change the direction of calls and consume external services in our Tuxedo application. Of all chapters in the book, this has the least to do with Tuxedo, having more to do with writing Python code itself. But practice makes perfect, and we will develop a couple of applications.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Consuming services
- Handling stateful protocols
By the end of this chapter, you will know how to structure your code to best fit a Tuxedo application. You will also learn how you can use Tuxedo message queues to add non-functional features. Finally, you will learn how to use multi-threaded servers to keep the state for connections...
