The Role of Spring in an ESB
An Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) brings flow-related concepts such as transformation and routing to a Service-Oriented Architecture. An ESB can also provide an abstraction for endpoints. This promotes flexibility in the transport layer and enables pluggability of POJO services.
While ESB is a vast topic, this session will offer a glimpse of a few technologies (scheduling, messaging, and remoting) within the context of an ESB. The content will be heavily example-based with a good deal of code and configuration. The sample application will be presented in two popular open source ESB engines: ServiceMix and Mule. The emphasis will be on Spring's enabling role within each environment for implementing POJO-based solutions that achieve flexibility in the face of change.
