A new transport can be added easily using + the Axis2 transport framework and plug-in to the ESB. Variety of transports brings variety + of message content/payload to the ESB. To identify the message by using the content type + and make it to common XML infoset done by the message builders. So there are message + builders associate with each content type. WSO2 ESB contains message builders for text + based content as well as binary content. Message formatters are the opposite partners of + the builders, formatter convert back the message to the original format by referring the + content type just before the message handover to the transports. Similar to the transports + user can implement new message builders and formatters by using the Axis2 framework.</p> + <p>Endpoints stay as a logical component with the transports. There are three sets of first + level endpoints Address and WSDL & Default. An endpoint can use any available + transport to dispatch the messages. Proxy services the virtual services in the WSO2 ESB + that implemented using message receivers and open up to accept the messages. A proxy + service can access using a URL similar to a normal web service address. Proxy service + allow to publish a WSDL to suite for advance usage. Any available transport can be use to + recive and send messages through the proxy services.</p> + <p>Event-sources are another implementation of message recover to handle messages on eventing, + including both subscriptions and events. The power of the WSO2 ESB remains with the + comprehensive mediator library that serves for different aspects. Using the mediator + library we can implement widely used Message Exchange Patterns (MEP) and Enterprise + Integration Patterns (EIP). Writing a mediator is a simple task for a developer because + WSO2 ESB provides a healthy framework for that, though it is not required to write a + mediator by your own to get most of the mediations implemented on ESB. Mediators can be + implemented using various technologies including Java, scripting and Spring, all of whihc + are considered as extension points to the WSO2 ESB. Sequences is a speciall mediator that + act as the configuration component for the mediators. Sequences allow to organize the + mediators to implement an ordered pipes and filters pattern to achieve the mediation.</p> + <p>Tasks provide facility to configure scheduled jobs in the WSO2 ESB and it allows to execute + internal and external commands for mediation. QoS components that implements reliable + messaging and security for the proxy services and for mediation comes with the Apache + implementations of those two modules for axis2, which are Rampart and Sandesha.</p> + <p>WSO2 ESB has an inbuilt registry/repository to store the configuration and configuration + metadata and it provides the facility to use a remote repository as well. Components that + helps to run WSO2 ESB on production environment are clustering, high availability and + load balancing capabilities. Finally the GUI components that make the comprehensive + management, configuration and monitoring capabilities to the ESB. GUI has done on a layered + architecture by separating the backend and frontend concerns. This allow the user to + connect to multiple backends using a single GUI console. The component based architecture + of the WSO2 ESB has enhanced the loosely coupling nature with the usage of OSGi. All the + components are built as OSGi bundles.</p> + </body> </html> \ No newline at end of file _______________________________________________ Esb-java-dev mailing list [email protected] https://wso2.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/esb-java-dev
