Presentations

Open Source SOA

At some point, code will be written, software tools will be acquired and systems will be built. Unfortunately the Java development world is a confused mess as it relates to a method of building a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)-based anything. Our objective is to answer the following questions: Should I use Web Services everywhere? Is an Enterprise Services Bus (ESB) useful and required? Should I be programming in the XML-based syntax of BPEL instead of Java? Do I need JBI and/or SCA? What Open Source implementations are available to solve SOA related challenges?

JBoss ESB Deep Dive

This session will be a deep dive into the capabilities of the open source JBoss Enterprise Service Bus 4.2 GA. An ESB is primarily categorized by its capabilties in the areas of protocol mediation/abstraction, transformation, orchestration, routing, endpoint registry, etc. Numerous live demos of ESB functionality.
