This glossary supports the following titles: SOA: Principles of Service Design (ISBN: 01323 44823, Prentice Hall) Service-Oriented Architecture: Concepts, Technology, and Design (ISBN: 0131858580, Prentice Hall) Service-Oriented Architecture: A Field Guide to Integrating XML & Web Services (ISBN: 0131 428985, Prentice Hall) For more information about this book series, visit: www.soabooks.com contract-to-logic coupling The extent to which a service contract is dependent on the underlying service logic is referred to as contract-to-logic coupling. This is considered a negative type of service coupling because service consumer programs that bind to the service contract end up also inadvertently forming dependencies on the underlying service logic. One of the reasons service-oriented design processes advocate a "contract first" approach to service design is to avoid contract-to-logic coupling, which commonly emerges when service contracts are auto-generated by development tools.
