Patterns: Soa Design Using Websphere Message Broker And Websphere Esb

The Patterns for e-business are a group of proven, reusable assets that can be used to increase the speed of developing and deploying e-business applications. This IBM Redbooks publication focuses on the use of the WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus and WebSphere Message Broker together to form an enterprise service bus (ESB) implemented in a service-oriented architecture (SOA).

This book discusses patterns for integrating WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus and WebSphere Message Broker and includes a scenario to help you design, develop, and deploy these products.

This book is designed to assist customers that are approaching the use of both advanced and basic ESB products from typically messaging and J2EE worlds, but are not quite sure when each is appropriate.

Jonathan Adams is an IBM Distinguished Engineer. He has been an IT architect with IBM for 38 years. For the last ten years he has been focused on developing a pattern language that allows an architect to describe a complex solution as a composite of coarse-grained patterns, to provide a powerful solution decomposition technique for enabling business transformation, and to provide the basis for a tooling approach for developing IT solutions based upon proven patterns and industry best practice. Since September 1998, he has been working in the SWG Technical Strategy organization leading the definition and development of the Patterns for e-business. These patterns have been built by teaming across all of the major IBM divisions. The resultant patterns are being used by IBM personnel, customers, and Business Partners to help reduce risk and increase speed to market on many e-business solution developments.
