10 great things about Open ESB
Here is something I found useful for all those who brave about Open ESB....
Project Open ESB is an Open Source implementation extends
the Java Business Integration (JBI) runtime as specified by
JSR-208 to create a multi-vendor open ESB The Open ESB is
based on multiple instances of JBI, which are linked by a
proxy-binding, based on Java Message Service.
The Open ESB project also is designed to be extensible,
including a variety of JBI plug-in components, including a
SOAP-over-HTTP binding component, and business process
service.
Now, the Top 10 Project Open ESB Benefits.
1. Open Source: Open ESB is developed in the open-source
community - because of this it can leverage the strength of
a vibrant developer community enabling enhancement and
contribution that add value.
2. Open Standards: the components on Open ESB communicate
based on open standards such as web services and WS-*
specifications as opposed to other ESB's that use a
proprietary bus.
3. Interoperability: Components that plug into Open ESB can
come from different contributors/vendors both open-source
and commercial enabling companies to use best of breed to
build their applications.
4. Interoperability: JBI based communication mechanism
eliminates "stove-pipe" integration issue between
containers.
5. Extensible: pluggable service technologies,pluggable
external bindings based on the JBI standard are what allow
an Open ESB ecosystem to be built up both from open-source
and commercial best of breed components working together.
6. Wealth of language support - through its wealth of
Service Engine components pluggable into the ESB Open ESB
supports development in a wide variety of languages -
allowing developers to pick "the best language for the job"
- whether it is Java, BPEL, SQL, Scripting etc.
7. Fully featured IDE: Open ESB comes with a wealth of
tooling to build and manage applications on the ESB that is
pluggable and is fully integrated into the Netbeans IDE.
8. Composite Applications: Open ESB can be used to create
and run SOA based Composite Applications that include any
of the pluggable components mentioned above.
9. Clustering: Fully integrated into the GlassFish Cluster
Support and allows component level clustering strategies
also.
10. Augments Java EE: bi-directional bridge allows to
include and call Java EE artifacts in Composite
Applications, calling JBI services from Java EE. This
allows Java EE developers to leverage their existing
knowledge and step into the realm of Composite Application
development using the wealth of programming languages
available in Open ESB.
