Features: The book "Enterprise Integration Patterns" provides a detailed description of an emerging trend that will not only affect all software in the financial services sector but also impact business process architects, enabling us to be more innovative and competitive while leveraging existing customer system investments. The book's themes are timely and introduce messaging and workflow patterns in an execution-driven, concise manner, closely related to today's information-overloaded event-driven environment and directly applicable within it. -- Glenn Cameron, Middleware Solutions Architect at Thomson Financial
Beyond introducing fundamental concepts such as publish/subscribe and reliable transport, "Enterprise Integration Patterns" also serves as a reference resource for architects on more advanced patterns that describe how messaging should be "used." The book not only covers integration but also dedicates significant effort to describing and building message-based applications. By leveraging the patterns introduced here, such as routing tables, aggregators, or resequencers, developers will excel in both integration projects and. -- Paul Brown, CEO of FiveSight Technologies, Inc.
"Enterprise Integration Patterns" is a landmark achievement. For years, the integration field has been plagued by a lack of consistency in its terminology, let alone software or protocol standards. With this book, we finally have an opportunity to change that, enabling everyone (including producers, consultants, developers, and end-users) to communicate using a common "language." If someone has made an effort to remove outdated integration best practices from our sight and launch a "renewal" movement to establish formal principles for the integration field, it is precisely what the authors of this book have achieved! For every IT architect, developer, and integration professional, this is an indispensable book. -- John Schmidt, Director of the EAI Industry Association
"Enterprise Integration Patterns" provides a solid foundation for understanding the current and future state of integration. The authors use patterns to clearly demonstrate their accumulated wisdom and experience in this area, allowing us to share this valuable resource. During the review and reading of this book, I learned a great deal and look forward to putting its recommendations into practice in the coming years. -- Luke Honhmann, author of "Beyond Software Architecture"
This book not only offers highly valuable advice on how to use messaging to solve integration problems but also deeply explores the significance of each method. The authors clearly explain the most common uses of messaging in the integration field and introduce a concise approach to solving complex problems using message channels. -- Dave Chappell, Vice President and Chief Technical Instructor at Sonic Software, author of "Enterprise Service Bus," "Java Web Services," and "Java Message Service"
If you have ever been involved in the operation or development of an enterprise application, you will undoubtedly face the need to integrate your application with another using the current messaging methods. When that day comes, this book will become the most valuable reference. Bobby and Gregor have done extraordinary work in using messaging to achieve application integration. They have collected rare insights from the software development industry and clearly organized them into a set of patterns, which is the preferred form of communication for sharing design experiences among software professionals. As a result, we have a pattern catalog and a set of practical solutions that software professionals can use to design and discuss the integration of enterprise applications. -- Randy Stafford, Chief Architect at IQNavigator, Inc.
This is a book about using messaging for enterprise integration. It does not just introduce a specific technology or product but is prepared for developers and integration professionals who use various messaging products and technologies. The book does not establish a business case for enterprise application integration but focuses on how to achieve it. Through this book, readers will learn how to integrate enterprise applications. Asynchronous messaging has proven to be the best solution for successfully achieving enterprise integration. However, to build and deploy messaging solutions, developers face numerous challenges. This book provides 65 meaningful patterns and demonstrates the power of messaging through real-world solutions, helping you design efficient messaging solutions for your enterprise. The book is also a guide to various messaging or middleware technologies. You can find examples using different technologies (such as JMS, MSMQ, TIBCO, BizTalk, and XSL) in the book, which demonstrate how to transform patterns into real implementations.
