Presentations

Rapid Fire Session - Mule 2.0

In "Spring and the ESB" you learned how Enterprise Service Bus technology fits within the enterprise. Come to this session to learn the latest about Mule 2.0, a popular open-source ESB implementation.

This session drills down into the details of the Mule 2.0 ESB. Focus will be on the latest and greatest features, and how you can take advantage of them within a Spring environment.

The Role of Spring in an ESB

This session will offer a glimpse of a few technologies (scheduling, messaging, and remoting) within the context of an ESB. The content will be heavily example-based with a good deal of code. We will present a sample application built with Spring and Mule - a popular open source ESB engine.

An Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) brings flow-related concepts such as transformation and routing to a Service-Oriented Architecture. An ESB can also provide an abstraction for endpoints. This promotes flexibility in the transport layer and enables pluggability of POJO services.

The emphasis in this session will be on Spring's enabling role within such an environment for implementing POJO-based solutions that achieve flexibility in the face of change.
