Abstract
A method for facilitating communication between application components is provided. The method comprises invoking, by a data consumer, a data contract by requesting data, wherein the data contract specifies communication parameters between application components. The data contract identifies and invokes a provider component in response to the invocation by the data consumer. The provider translates input data from the data consumer to construct a producer request and sends the producer request to a data producer. The data producer sends output data to the provider in response to the producer request. The provider translates and sends the output data to the data contract, and the data contract send the translated output data to the data consumer.
