Enterprise Service Bus
An enterprise service bus (ESB) is a standards-based integration platform that combines messaging, web services, data transformation and intelligent routing in an event-driven service-oriented architecture (SOA). ESBs are being rapidly adopted within IT organizations across a wide variety of industries, solving real-world integration challenges in many unique ways.
O'Reilly's Enterprise Service Bus provides you with both a conceptual and architectural overview of ESB from the viewpoint of a seasoned expert in the areas of standards for enterprise messaging, web services and SOA. In it, Dave Chappell offers his unique insights - gained from years of working with the pioneers and innovators defining the ESB - and delivers practical strategies for understanding the architecture of an ESB and its impact on integrating diverse applications into enterprise-wide solutions. He then goes on to present integration patterns that clearly show how an ESB can help solve the thorniest application integration challenges using standard components and interfaces.
If you build, integrate or architect enterprise applications and are looking for the skills and expertise to become a "next generation" enterprise integration architect, this is the book for you!
