Continuing the climb
It's been a while since I last posted anything...I've been busy climbing Fuji (metaphorically, I physically climbed Fuji-san many years ago) the project name for OpenESB v3. Andi Egloff presented a demo in the Java One Technical General Session that displayed some of the features that we have been working for a little over the balance of this calendar year.
I worked in a bunch of areas:
- EIP infrastructure
- Change EIP execution from using interceptors to being light-weight components
- Allow EIP based routes to be treated as a normal JBI services
- Specific EIP instance implementation
- Tee - as basic as they get
- Scatter/Gather - much higher complexity level. Reused the Broadcast and Aggregate EIP constructs to get the desired affect.
- Content Based Routing - the first steps. Allows for regex, XPath and NormalizedMessage headers to be queried and selected. Allow the rule set to be dynamically changed by storing the rules is in a file.
- Tracing/Monitoring infrastructure
- Instrumented the NormalizedMessageRouter to signal tracing events for the 4 basic primitives: before send, after send, before accept and after accept. Implemented a simple text based logger that has been used for simple debugging.
- Kirill Sorokin & Alexander Permyakov are using this to enhance the WebUI with message tracing/replay mechanism
