In the talk Paul will look at the capabilities and approach of Open Source ESBs, and argue that the Open Source approach is the best route to creating a long-term, robust and cost-effective Service Oriented Architecture. Paul will look at Open Source ESBs including Mule, ServiceMix, and Synapse, and explore the strengths and weaknesses of each approach, and compare to the offerings from the established vendors.
Paul Fremantle is co-founder of WSO2 - the open source SOA company - where he leads the development of the WSO2 ESB. Paul is a long-time SOA expert, starting out as one of IBM's WebSphere architecture team where he led the development of the Web Services Gateway product. Paul is co-chair of the OASIS WS-RX Technical Committee and a member of the Apache Software Foundation, where he contributes to the Apache Synapse ESB project.
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.
