Anticorruption Layer

The Anticorruption Layer pattern describes a relationship between two bounded contexts and is used on a context map in CML.

Syntax

The Anticorruption Layer pattern can be used as a role for the downstream context in a Upstream/Downstream relationship by using the ACL abbreviation. The following example illustrates the syntax:

DebtCollection [D,ACL]<-[U,OHS,PL] PrintingContext {
  implementationTechnology = "SOAP"
}

Semantic Rules

Note that semantic rules (validators) exist for Anticorruption Layer within CML. This means that not every combination of patterns and concepts is allowed, even if it would be syntactically correct. The following rules apply to a Anticorruption Layer:

The Anticorruption Layer pattern can be used in a Customer/Supplier relationship, but this leads to contradictions with the original pattern definition according to our understanding.
- The usage of Anticorruption Layer in a Customer/Supplier relationship produces a Warning only.

For a summary of all semantic rules and further justifications, please consult Language Semantics.
