I think I know the answer to this one, but I have just spotted someone doing exactly the opposite – who is a very skilled developer, were they just having a bad day?
Q: Is it OK to call a service from within a service in an SOA architected system?
I suspect not, but i'll ask anyway…
Best Answer
I can't think of any reason why not. I can think of multiple reasons why a service could call another service. I've architected and implemented multiple services that do this. I'm also aware of other architectures that set up this sort of system.
