Abstract

Application integration is a top priority for companies today. A number of existing and emerging JavaTM technology and Web services standards are making it more cost-effective for organizations to link applications and services more pervasively than ever before.

Common approaches for integration today include the use of integration brokers or application servers as the core of integration. But each of these approaches brings with it a high degree of complexity and cost, especially when a large number of end-points are introduced across a distributed environment. A new category of technology known as the enterprise service bus (ESB) has emerged to address the need for distributed integration, while readying customer for the shift to service-oriented architecture (SOA).

This presentation looks at how Java technology is enabling real-world distributed integration deployments today. It also takes a look at a way to apply the methodology of these deployments to emerging standards efforts within the Java Community ProcessSM (JCPSM), such as the JavaTM Business Integration specification, or JSR 208, aimed at creating a loosely coupled integration model for distributed services.
