Extending the composite service API

In this section, we will see how we can extend the composite API with operations for creating and deleting composite entities. We will go through the following steps:

1. Adding new operations in the composite service API
2. Adding methods in the integration layer
3. Implementing the new composite API operations
4. Updating the composite service tests
