Utilizing years of practical experience, seasoned experts GregorHohpe and Bobby Woolf show how asynchronous messaging has proven tobe the best strategy for enterprise integration success. However,building and deploying messaging solutions presents a number ofproblems for developers. "Enterprise Integration Patterns" providesan invaluable catalog of sixty-five patterns, with real-worldsolutions that demonstrate the formidable of messaging and help youto design effective messaging solutions for your enterprise.

The authors also include examples covering a variety ofdifferent integration technologies, such as JMS, MSMQ, TIBCOActiveEnterprise, Microsoft BizTalk, SOAP, and XSL. A case studydescribing a bond trading system illustrates the patterns inpractice, and the book offers a look at emerging standards, as wellas insights into what the future of enterprise integration mighthold.

This book provides a consistent vocabulary and visual notationframework to describe large-scale integration solutions across manytechnologies. It also explores in detail the advantages andlimitations of asynchronous messaging architectures. The authorspresent practical advice on designing code that connects anapplication to a messaging system, and provide extensiveinformation to help you determine when to send a message, how toroute it to the proper destination, and how to monitor the healthof a messaging system. If you want to know how to manage, monitor,and maintain a messaging system once it is in use, get thisbook.
