“From the ESB to REST and Clouds an Open Source Thu, May 13 6:00pm Oracle |
|
Presentation Overview:
The ESB concept emerges from integration requirements that have remained mostly stable and pervasive over the years. Yet many developers feel like they are run over by the bus, especially when an ESB is foisted onto their projects. Open source ESBs offer a flexibility and transparency that is hard to match without access to the source code. In the first half of this talk, we will detail the architectural considerations behind ESBs and how they are realized in JBoss ESB. With this understanding, the audience should be well prepared to use and customize ESBs to meet their specific project needs.
Once we understand the motivations for ESBs we will next turn our attention to the relationship between ESB, REST and Cloud. We will see that in many ways each complements the other, opening possibilities that are hard to achieve in isolation. In particular, the growing prevalence of clouds will place new demands on ESBs, and we will see how REST patterns serve to integrate these ideas.
