ESB's and WebServices in Practice
Abstract
One element of SOA is the approach to provide interoperability. The usual concept is an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). But if you try just to buy a commercial ESB or use an Open Source ESB you are lost. ESB's use very different fundamental concepts, companies sell different ESB's without explaining why, and for standards such as Web Services there are major debates whether this is a (useful) ESB.
In this talk Nicolai Josuttis will give an overview of different ESB approaches and what it really means to bring an ESB as part of a SOA strategy into operation.
