A few years ago I was asked by one of our customers to help them make better use of their integration layer. Ever since then me and my team have been working on a framework in support of that. This is the fourth in a series of blogs on the development of our framework, and discusses the features it provides. The one that was announced last time, about building blocks, is momentarily postponed.
So far I’ve discussed the goals & challenges surrounding the development activities, but I’d like to focus more on the framework itself now, and what it brings to those that are using it.
As soon as a new party (be it service consumer or service provider) connects to our framework, it can profit directly from the wealth of functionality we deliver out-of-the-box. These ‘generic features’ are exactly what one would expect from a (logical) ESB, and are partly based on the Expanded Enterprise Service Bus Pattern.
