How do you mean what do we do? The Bus has 6 services on it, this means that any off bus application server or environment can consume those services and create services or applications of their own. If for instance this off bus application does a bunch of co-ordination (might even use a process engine) then its still an application in the same way as any other. If that new application is actually a set of newly developed services then these are exposed back into the bus.
The bus is just the intermediary. If you think of the internet then DNS is in effect the sort of Bus I mean. On 28/03/07, Bill Barr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
To me you've just said that ESB = Application Development. JBI does a good job of standardising how products are plugged together from an IT infrastructure perspective, but I wouldn't say its an ESB as its focus is on connecting engines and not on connecting services. Is there a way of avoiding this? Let's assume a bus, per your description. Let's attach 6 services to it. Now what do we do? -- email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] phone: 425.679.3533
