ActiveMQ and ServiceMix
Abstract
Systems based on messaging are increasingly being recognized for better handling of unpredictable changes as well as for scaling further than traditional tightly-coupled applications. Apache ActiveMQ is an open source message broker that supports JMS, provides client access from many different languages and offers many advanced features necessary for enterprise level messaging.
SOA is simply a way to think when designing systems. Service oriented integration is a way to leverage investments in existing IT systems using the principles of SOA. Apache ServiceMix is an enterprise service bus (ESB) that provides a platform for system integration utilizing reusable components in a service oriented manner which is built using ActiveMQ at the core.
This session will introduce enterprise messaging, provide a crash course in JMS and discuss features of ActiveMQ. The session will also include some definitions of an ESB and how to evaluate them, information about the Java Business Integration (JBI) spec and development using both ActiveMQ and ServiceMix as well as a brief discussion to ServiceMix 4.0, the next generation of the ServiceMix ESB.
