On the road to the next generation of OpenESB - Fuji Milestone 5

We've been having fun (and been incredibly busy) with Project Fuji, and now we pushed out the download for Milestone 5! (M5 Detail Page)

So what's new since the last round of screencasts?

More Built-in enterprise integration patterns

• Scatter Gather
  
• Routing Slip
  
• Content-Based Routing (m4)
  
• Wire Tap (m4)

Aspects (configurable interceptors) in the context of a messaging layer, including out of the box

• Policy aspect
  
• Logging aspect (m4)

Also a couple of new service types we've started for

• email
  
• REST

As you might know from previous episodes, you can use Fuji with any text editor of choice plus Maven; but we also have plug-ins to enhance your experience with syntax highlighting and code completion

• Much enhanced Web tooling for service composition
  
• First "release" of Eclipse Tooling
  
• Enhanced NetBeans Tooling

To get an impression of what this looks like and what you can do with the web tooling have a look at the 2-part hello world example Kirill created.

Part 1: Building Fuji from scratch, simple "note taking" application example
Note that if you download the Milestone zip you can skip the check-out and build steps.

Part 2: Expanding the application, EIPs, tour of the web composition

We're still working on additional write-ups and showing off each cool feature as we race towards JavaOne, so keep your peepers peeled!

It's that time between Devoxx and JavaOne... Need a little boost?

I enjoyed this video of a cool surprise for onlookers at Antwerp central station; if you've been to Devoxx the location might look familiar albeit less christmassy; it also might make you reminisce about the great time you had at Devoxx ;). Don't fret, lots of us are hard at work preparing for the next big show to satisfy that java conference crave...
