Service Contract Facet

Service Contract Facets define the scope within a Tigerstripe project. This scope allows you to highlight and enforce design features on your Service Contracts. Consequently, you can generate each facet separately for a contract. When designing Service Contracts, you may want to enforce similarities between your contracts independently of the actual subject of the Service Contract. For example, a monitoring facet and a logging facet may included information that is similar and could be used in different Service Contracts.

Defining a Service Contract Facet

To define a Service Contract Facet:

1. In Tigerstripe Workbench, select File, click New, and select Contract Facet. The New Tigerstripe Workbench Contract Segment dialog box opens
   Alternatively, you can right-click on the project descriptor in the Tigerstripe Explorer, click New and select Contract Facet.

   

2. Enter a filename in the File name text box and click Finish. Facets are stored with the extension of .wfc. The new Service Contract Facet displays in the Tigerstripe Explorer.
3. If it's not already selected, select the facet to open it and click the Overview tab.

   

4. Enter a name for your facet in the Name text box.
5. Enter a version number for your facet in the Version text box.
