Hello mailinglist,
I have maybe some interesting links :
http://www.soapatterns.org/ --> a lot of patterns- maybe interesting for
you- the most is old stuff, but there are some interesting new things...
http://labs.jboss.com/file-access/default/members/jbossesb/freezone/resources/project/JBossESBArchitecture.pdf
--> JBOSS ESB architecture paper- very nice to read, but sometimes not
state of the art
http://labs.jboss.com/file-access/default/members/jbossesb/freezone/docs/4.0Beta1/manuals/html/ProgrammersGuide_files/image021.png
--> architecture picture
http://labs.jboss.com/jbossesb/docs/4.2.1GA/manuals/html/ProgrammersGuide.html
--> good reference for programmers, good section about faults,
configuration guide
Some interesting points about jboss esb:
- jboss has jax-r support for quering any repository
(http://labs.jboss.com/wiki/Jbossesb/JAXR) with apache scout
(http://ws.apache.org/scout/)
- xslt transformator milyn of codehaus looks interesting- they promise
4x performance boost over xalan
(http://jbossesb.blogspot.com/2007/03/as-you-may-already-know-jboss-esb-uses.html),
but in the blog it seems to be slow...
- feature of smooks transformation support in jboss esb
(http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MILYN/Smooks+In+JBoss+ESB,
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MILYN/Smooks) VERY, VERY NICE, but look
above- seems to be slow...
- jboss esb has a notification framework (email, jms, ftp)
- support ldap integration
- dead letter support
(http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossESBDeadLetterService)
with message store
(http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossESBMessageStore)
- good contentbased-router support via drools
(http://anonsvn.labs.jboss.com/labs/jbossesb/trunk/product/docs/services/ContentBasedRouting.pdf)
- integration of jbpm
(http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossESBjBPM)- nice thing
- dynamic soap-client in the esb
(http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=SOAPClient) - but I don´t
understand this really :-)
- support of acl for securing messages
- hot deployment of esb services
(http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossESBHotDeployment)!
- dynamic router, but without a control channel
(http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossESBDynamicRouter)
- basic Eventmanager
(http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=EventManagerAction)
- jca support
(http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=UsingJCAWithJBossESB)
- good ftp provider configuration (with few parameter for finished and
working and error messages)
- message redelivery (!!!), clustering and loadbalancing
(http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossESBStatelessServiceClustering)
- message actions guide
(http://labs.jboss.com/jbossesb/docs/4.2.1GA/manuals/html/MessageActionGuide.html),
look at notification support
a good overview delivers the webinar:
https://jboss.webex.com/cmp0304l/webcomponents/docshow/docshow.do?siteurl=jboss&setupStatus=0&rnd=0.848281116934858
- they have a plenty of working examples- look at
http://anonsvn.labs.jboss.com/labs/jbossesb/trunk/product/samples/quickstarts/
Maybe this would help to find out some new requirements to improve
Synapse. It seems that JBoss has a very good implementation of an esb-
they support some ws-specs like ws-security and it seems to may that
they have a robust product.
Also, I like the jax-ws model more and more.
Any comments on that?
Thanks,
Jens
