Abstract:
1. A method of providing routing information for routing of a request message in a communication network, wherein the request message requests a service requiring a data operation on data, wherein the data is stored on a plurality of data repositories configured for communicating via a communication protocol, thereby constituting a data backend system of the communication network, wherein a plurality of application front end entities of an application layer of the communication network can access the data backend system, wherein each one of the plurality of application front end entities is configured for communicating with a respective given data repository, wherein the method comprises: a first data repository of the plurality of data repositories receiving, from a first application front end entity of the application layer, a request for routing information for the request message towards a storage location of the data or receiving a data operation message created by the first application front end entity based on the request message, in response to said receiving of the request for routing information or of the data operation message, retrieving routing information towards a second application front end entity of the application layer which communicates with a given data repository, wherein the storage location of the data is at least on the given data repository, the first data repository sending the routing information to the first application front end entity with the routing information being such that the first application front end entity is enabled to route the request message to the second application front end entity using a communication protocol of the application layer.
