Open-Source ESBs in Action

Введение в книгу：Choice is usually a good thing for consumers but it can be difficult to navigate the landscape of Open Source ESBs. I believe this book is extremely valuable for readers looking to choose an ESB and looking to get a stronger grasp on how to implement an ESB using open source projects. I found the case studies in section III particularly useful since they pull together many of the concepts learned throughout the book. This book guides the reader through a logical journey of discovery and demonstration to deliver a solid understanding of the core ESB concepts and how they can be used in the real world. Armed with this book and the wealth of open source projects available I think the reader will be ready to take on any ESB project. Open Source made ESBs a lot more fun, go and enjoy yourself! —From the Foreword by Ross Mason, Creator of the Mule Project Open-Source ESBs in Action describes how to use ESBs in real-world situations. You will learn how the various features of an ESB such as transformation, routing, security, connectivity, and more can be implemented on the example of two open-source ESB implementations: Mule and ServiceMix. The authors first introduce ServiceMix and Mule, and then present general principles and patterns of ESB use, as well as a structured approach to solving common integration problems, through examples using them.
