Inverse Mapping

Consider this data flow for request document:

A --> Process.ItemMaster --> Mapper --> Process.MyItem --> B

Application A sends a Process.ItemMaster. The mapper changes the noun to a Process.MyItem and delivers it to application B.

• Implicit routing

  Application B sends an Acknowledge.MyItem to application A. Application A is expecting Acknowledge.ItemMaster instead of Acknowledge.MyItem.

• Explicit routing

  Additional data flow for reply can be modeled:

  B --> Acknowledge.MyItem --> Mapper --> Acknowledge.ItemMaster --> A

  Application B sends an Acknowledge.MyItem to Mapper. It is converted to the Acknowledge.ItemMaster and sent to application A.
