  HIGHLIGHT

  Open-Source ESBs in Action shows how to implement an Enterprise Service Bus

  (a key SOA concept) using the popular open-source technologies Mule and

  ServiceMix.

  DESCRIPTION

  An Enterprise Service Bus, or ESB, is a piece of software that integrates enterprise

  applications without requiring the developer to write custom code. Open

  Source ESB = Free ESB. This is very good for an enterprise developer. And it's an

  increasingly popular approach Mule alone has seen over 1 million downloads.

  Open-Source ESBs in Action is an example-driven guide for Java developers

  implementing an ESB using the open-source software Mule and ServiceMix.

  The authors present real-world scenarios and show how these free tools can save

  both development time and tens of thousands of dollars in software cost. The

  book explores the key features of an ESB, such as transformation, routing, security,

  connectivity. The book also describes how to solve common enterprise integration

  problems using a structured approach.

  KEY SELLING POINTS

  Deep coverage of Mule and ServiceMix

  Reusable code examples

  Practical coverage of common usage scenarios

  MARKET INFORMATION

  This book bases its examples on two open-source implementations, Mule and

  ServiceMix, which have combined downloads of well over 1 million. When

  independent applications have to exchange information with one another, this is

  called enterprise integration. For example, the CRM application has to know

  about the order history of a customer that is stored in the sales application. A

  technology that is often used to integrate these applications is called an enterprise

  service bus (ESB). There are many different ESB implementations, both

  commercial as well as open-source.
