Building a Service Oriented Architecture with ServiceMix
There is a big buzz and a lot of hype about Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). A solid SOA architecture allows you to use standards-based, pluggable, and loosely coupled services to integrate and communicate the critical business logic from disparate systems. This essentially allows a common ground for different systems to interact with each other. But there is more to a good SOA implementation than simply integrating services. This is where orchestration and other key concepts become important, and an ESB helps fill in this gap.
This session will explain the concepts of an ESB, how it works and demonstrate a real ESB implementation, Apache ServiceMix, a JBI compliant (JSR208) ESB container. It will cut through the media hype, buzz, and give an overview of a free and open source ESB implementation.
