SpringSource has just released Spring Integration 2.0. Spring Integration is a lightweight framework to help build event-driven and messaging oriented applications in the familiar Spring style. InfoQ caught up with project lead Mark Fisher to talk to him about the new release.

Mark Fisher and Thomas Risberg transform a monolithic cloud application by changing its relational DB with a NoSQL one, introducing modularity, polyglot support and enterprise integration patterns.

Carl Trieloff, Kim Palko and John Camilleri present how AMQP was born and how it has been embraced by various industries, and how it is used by RedHat and Green Energy.
Oleg Zhurakousky demoes performing transaction management, error handling, asynchronous processing, advanced aggregator configuration, etc., using Spring Integration and enterprise integration patterns.
Stephen Bohlen explains how Spring helps with interoperability between Java and .NET, demoing it with the help of a sample application.
John Davies discusses enterprise scenarios where Spring Integration fits and some where it needs additional help from solutions such as SWIFT from C24 Integration Objects.
Tim Ewald explains why hypermedia is good for system integration through services –providing support for evolution, service request routing, and application recovery-, and how to build such services.

John Davies addresses some of the difficulties dealing with FIX, FpML, SWIFT and integration in financial services software industry, challenging some of the canonical models existing today.
Vaughn Vernon advocates using DDD’s strategic modeling patterns when integrating services in a RESTful SOA implementation, avoiding one of SOA’s pitfalls: focusing on services rather than the domain.
Guilherme Silveira considers that RESTful web services need to make use of hypermedia in order to be prepared for web integration. He shows how links can be used to create more decoupled services.
