How does your SOA compare? What will be the major evolutions in the next few years? How will the Cloud impact current SOAs?

  • Open Cloud Will Make Business SHINE

    William El Kaim describes an Open Cloud Model based on agile principles and driven by an independent user community to define it further. He provides a sketch of a potential Cloud Operating System. He also defines the SHINE principles for transforming IT into BT (Business Technology).

  • Book Review: Understanding SCA

    Four years after the publication of the first SCA specification draft, SCA remains a technology that is not well known or understood. Yet IBM and Oracle have built key product suites with it.Jim Marino and Michael Rowley, both co-authors of the SCA specifications, have published a practical guide to get started with SCA which covers the entire programming model from persistence to presentation.

  • Orchestrating RESTful Services With Mule ESB And Groovy

    In this article, David Dossot, co-author of Mule in Action, examines the power of Mule RESTpack and Groovy in orchestrating RESTful services in the Mule messaging platform. The article detail the interactions for each of these steps and will consider what particular Mule moving parts and Groovy features we have used to achieve such an interaction.

  • Routing Messages in Mule

    Jackie Wheeler discusses the use of Mule as a message routing solution for SOA middleware. The article covers key concepts, selection of a message style; passing, filtering and splitting messages; and, calling external services. Examples of messaging implementation are included.

  • Mainframe Integration with JBoss ESB and LegStar

    In this article we look at how the open source JBossESB has been used to integrate legacy COBOL CICS applications without necessarily having to rely on XML and Web Services stacks.

  • Tijs Rademakers and Jos Dirksen on Open Source ESB

    InfoQ has published a sample chapter from the book “Open Source ESBs In Action”, authored by Tijs Rademakers and Jos Dirksen, and took the opportunity to interview the authors about their experience in using open source ESBs in real-world projects.
