Subject: [SQLDownUnder] Service Broker

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone can point me at some material, or offer any
suggestions regarding the Service Broker.

I am evaluating whether the Service Broker can be used as a fire and forget
style 'message bus'.

By which I mean whether it has the capability to call external services (say
a WCF service) / programs, and what the best practice is for architecting
such an infrastructure.

eg, Does it offer the follow features :


some app or 3rd party -> WCF -> message on a queue -> message filtered /
processed based on a 'policy' -> message passed onto a different 3rd party
service (WCF) -> acknowledgement -> retry ....


OR

is it more useful as a simple queue that can pass messages between SQLServer
instances

I realise you could hand-roll the processing / filtering and forwarding of
messages to a 3rd party service, and use the Service Broker as the
underlying queue, but wondered if it could offer more?

Cheers.

Ross
