Small variations such as VAT or no VAT can be dealt with in a single order processing system, and commonly are. OTOH, if the message content varies widely, is the choreography likely to be the same? Would I just deploy a single abstract choreography to change what industry I am serving? A semiconductor manufacturer, for example, is likely to have different order processing rules than a shoe manufacturer. More than just the message content differs. --Jon Burdett, David wrote: > Jon > > What you think is unusual is actually very common and here's the use > case ... > > The content of an order document, say, will vary depending on such > things as: the industry in which the choreography is being used and > country in which the order is being placed.
