An ESB is part of an SOA infrastructure. However, SOA is not simply a technology or a product: it's a style of design, with many aspects (such as architectural, methodological and organisational) unrelated to the actual technology. But obviously at some point it becomes necessary to map the abstract SOA to a concrete implementation and that's where JBossESB comes in to play!
Red Hat in conjunction with the open source community released JBoss ESB 4.2, a JBoss.org open source project. JBoss ESB intermediates interactions between enterprise applications, business services, business components, and middleware to integrate and enable automation of business processes.
In his presentation Johan will look at the architecture and benefits of the JBoss ESB. The main part of his talk will cover multiple demo's of some basic, as well as some more advanced features of the JBoss ESB.
Johan will conclude his session by presenting the current product roadmap. He will also explain why you should choose for JBoss ESB in future SOA projects.
Johan Kumps is a SOA architect at Dolmen/JCS. He has been involved in different integration projects using both open and closed source ESB products. For the last 10 months Johan is involved as a SOA architect in a large SOA project for the Belgian government. Johan also joined the JBoss ESB committer team last year.
SOA Development using JBossESB— Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) are the buzzwords of choice today. However, where do they fit in with IT development (and budgets)? What is their relationship to Web Services and the rapidly evolving WS-* architecture? In this presentation, we'll look at SOA and ESB concepts, relate them to what is happening with the JBossESB product and how you can plan your IT development accordingly.
ServiceMix— Apache ServiceMix is an Open Source ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) that combines the functionality of a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and an Event Driven Architecture (EDA) to create an agile, enterprise ESB.
Solving the SOA Paradox through Application Performance Monitoring— Enterprises are deploying SOAs to gain business flexibility and efficiency. However when it comes to ensuring superior performance this approach and the technologies that underpin it, pose special management challenges. The loose coupling of services offers clear benefits - such as better alignment between business and IT; however, the complexities of service-orientation bring hidden performance risks. SOAs are simply the next generation of composite web applications, which CA Wily has been managing for over 9 years. They do have specific management challenges, but these must be considered in the context of the whole web application infrastructure through which Web services transactions flow.
Master Data Management and SOA— This session will let you discover what Master Data Management is all about and how it can be concretely implemented. You will understand the added value of Master Data Management in a Service oriented Architecture.
Mule 2 and Beyond— Mule is one of the leading open source ESB and integration framework. It's focus has always been on the developer with the aim of simplifying the difficult task of implementing an integration or SOA project. The focus Mule 2.0 is to make things even easier, more powerful even more robust. This talk will pivot on some of the new features of Mule.
