Enterprise Integration with WSO2 ESB

Over 15 recipes to calibrate seamless modularity to SOA and address commonly-faced enterprise integration challenges with a zero-code approach

Overview

• Learn how to implement the mostly-used Enterprise Integration Patterns with WSO2 ESB
• Discover how to integrate WSO2 ESB with FIX, HL7, and SAP gateways
• Understand the key concepts behind WSO2 ESB, and find optimized recommendations for deploying WSO2 ESB in a production setup

In Detail

The Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) serves as a key component in most of the enterprise grade deployments. In most cases, the ESB removes point-to-point dependencies in your system to build a highly-scalable, loosely-coupled solution. ESB is a key ingredient to build an SOA infrastructure, but it’s not a must. Even with an ESB, if industry best practices and patterns are not followed, users will end up in a mess. This book will teach you the essentials to get started with WSO2 ESB and solve the most commonly-faced integration problems.

The book starts by explaining the need for an ESB and the problems it solves. It will cover the most widely-used enterprise integration patterns, including Content Based Router, Dynamic Router, Splitter, Aggregator, Scatter & Gather, Publish & Subscribe, Detour, Service Chaining, Content Enricher and Message Broker. Learn how WSO2 ESB can bring third-party business messaging systems such as SAP, FIX, and HL7 into the SOA world, as well as how to integrate the Twitter connector into your business messaging flow.
