Service Statelessness

Service Statelessness is one of eight design principles that is part of the service-orientation design paradigm.

The official definition for this principle states the following:

"Services minimize resource consumption by deferring the management of state information when necessary."

Common concepts and terms associated with the application of this principle include:

• active and passive (primary states)

• stateful and stateless (primary state conditions)

• context, session, and business (state information types)

• context data and context rules (context data types)

• non-deferred state management

• partially deferred memory

• partial architectural state management deferral

• full architectural state management deferral

• internally deferred state management
