| Enterprise Service Bus provides an architectural overview of the ESB, showing how it can bring the task of integration of enterprise applications and services built on J2EE, .NET, C/C++, and other legacy environments into the reach of the everyday IT professional, using an event-driven Service-Oriented Architecture. Through the study of real-world use cases drawn from several industries using ESB, the book clearly and coherently outlines the benefits of moving toward this integration strategy.
Welcome to Enterprise Service Bus. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it. Being part of a new technology evolution is very exciting, and now that you are beginning to explore the concept of the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB), you can become a part of it, too. The ESB provides a highly distributed, event-driven Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) that combines Message Oriented Middleware (MOM), web services, intelligent routing based on content, and XML data transformation. ESBs are being used to solve integration challenges in many unique ways, as we will explore throughout this book. |
