The power of JBI, OSGi and language oriented programming:
Screencast of Open ESB v3's Project Fuji

Wow! It's been a great week at JavaOne. I'm glad we're getting some great constructive feedback on what we're doing in Open ESB v3 with Project Fuji in making a services and integration platform much more productive and approachable.

Project Fuji is the new core integration stack at the heart of Open ESB v3 and the technlogy preview shows goodies such as a domain specific language (DSL) for integration, a JBI enabled OSGi runtime and simple yet powerful Maven enabled tooling.

We've been demoing the technology preview in our session, demo pods and to anyone who wanted to see it - and I have yet to run into someone who wasn't impressed with how quick and easy it is. Better yet, some excited souls are starting to see and think about what else could make it even more powerful.

You can see the demo for yourself in the screencast Keith recorded during JavaOne - he's using his best announcer voice :)

In a few minutes it shows how to poll from an RSS feed, run it through a JRuby filter, then send results to an instant messaging client as well as to a file.

Personally I find it very satisfying and empowering to be able to realize a scenario like this in minutes in a straight-forward fashion that is close to the way I think about the problem - rather than hours or days and potentially having to figure out how to make the tooling and technologies fit such an integration challenge.
