ESB Definition
There is NO J2EE-like specification with a TCK that can define and validate an ESB like there is for App Servers. ESBs are categorized by their capabilities some come from a heritage of EAI and others of MOM. Capabilities:
Message delivery Transport protocol mediation Event capture Intelligent routing Orchestration Transformation BPM Adapters And much, much more

Questions: [email protected]

JBossESB 4.2 provides

Message delivery
JMS (JBossMQ, JBoss Messaging, ActiveMQ, MQSeries, Oracle AQ, TIBCO EMS) FTP, SOAP, email, database, shared file system For custom service enablement & mediation XSLT, Java, Groovy, StringTemplate, Freemarker JBoss Rules, XPath DSL Recipient List/Static Routing is also supported BPM, Intelligent routing, EIPs and hot deployment JAX-R based UDDI support out-of-the-box

Action Pipeline (in a Service)

Actions are reusable mediation components that can be chained together to form the capabilities of a registered service. Actions can be dynamically added/removed at runtime.

Content Based Routing Engine

Currently based on JBoss Rules supports XPATH DSL Access to the complete Header and Body/Contents for evaluation Zero to many destinations
rule "Routing Rule using XPATH Greater" when xpathGreaterThan "/Order/@totalAmount", "50.0" then Log : "Really It's EXPRESS Shipping"; Destination : express"; end rule "Routing Rule using XPATH Less" when xpathLessThan "/Order/@totalAmount", "50.0" then Log : "Really It's NORMAL Shipping"; Destination : normal"; end

Destination is determined by the jboss-esb.xml

Questions: [email protected]

Load Balancing & Fail-Over

The same discount_service.esb can be deployed to multiple ESB instances/nodes. Each one is a new EPRs in the registry. The routing engine is clever enough to load-balance and failover between the various EPRs. Should no EPR be available, it will scheduled the message for redelivery, waiting N seconds and retrying all possible EPRs found at that time.

Deployment Options
1) ESB within an Application Server Users have existing investments in the J2EE/Java EE App Servers and wish to run the ESB as a set of components in that App Server.
JBoss ESB can run within the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 4.2

2) ESB beside an Application Server Users wish to leave their existing application server environments untouched but still add mediation, SOA & integration capabilities.
JBoss ESB has its own lightweight engine/container for the hosting mediation services. It can run beside your existing middleware from your vendor of choice.

3) ESB standalone in a J2SE environment this option is primarily for development & testing purposes

Management & Monitoring

4.2 Release is focused on JMX instrumentation, the ability to monitor the health and load of every distributed service as well as start, stop & restart them remotely.

An ESB Service is visible in the UDDI registry automatically. A single ESB Service may or may not expose a WSDL. It may use out-of-the-box actions, custom actions and/or consume external services from various sources. Focus on the reuse of existing infrastructure and assets. Questions: [email protected]
