Presentation: "ServiceMix 4.0, the next generation ESB"

Time: Wednesday 09:30 - 10:30

Location: To be announced

Abstract:

Apache ServiceMix 3.x is the most popular open source JBI implementation. Comforted by this popularity, developments on Apache ServiceMix 4.0, the next major version, has recently began.

The main focus is ease of use: while ServiceMix 3.x has mainly focused on JBI 1.0, the 4.0 version will go further and really leverage the good in JBI 1.0, while getting around the difficult parts to provide a flexible, powerful and easy API.

The key building blocks are OSGi, the Spring Framework, a simplified model for building custom components, a clean DSL for routing and EIP patterns. We will look at all these components to understand how they fit together to provide a powerful but easy to use tool to solve your integration problems.

ServiceMix 4.x also aims to support JBI 2.0 and SCA, so we will try to understand at how they can be leveraged together.
