Hi Barry, In our environment, we're doing a lot of integration with packaged software such as SAP and Oracle, as well as a lot of legacy systems. The thing that's so great about the ESB is that it mediates communication between all of those systems - it doesn't care if it's connecting to a .Net web service, a message queue, a file system, database, or anything else. We have our ESB connected to our various apps using all those methods I just mentioned and a whole lot more.
I also believe that CF plays just fine in all of this. We can connect a CF app to the ESB just as easy as any of our Java apps, and for everything we've plugged in so far, we haven't had any problems. Maybe I'm just used to working in a heterogeneous environment where I'm not worried about doing everything in CF. Even more important, we're trying to do as much of the integration without having to code as possible (where we do code, it's usually reusable adapters). Having web services available (shout out to CFCs) as the application integration service endpoint for our CF apps is dead simple. -Rob On Apr 2, 6:54 am, "Barry Beattie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > thanks for your input Rob. > > I have a bit of a background in electronics so I appreciate the idea > of the Enterprise Service Bus (seen it before just different) > > it's a bit of a pity the origional reason (that caused the start of > this thread) has now died off but it's still an important topic to > follow up on (interop, SOE, etc) and gut feeling says we'll see more > of in the future. > > I'm heartened to see CF figures well into your ESB system, what with > messaging gateways and webservices (as just some of the tools > available).
