HIGHLIGHT

A practical guide to messaging and integration with the Spring

Integration framework.



DESCRIPTION

Spring Integration is a Java-based enterprise integration framework

that provides a lightweight alternative to more traditional ESBs. By

merging the "Enterprise Integration Patterns" outlined by Hohpe and

Woolf (Addison Wesley, 2003) with the programming model of the

Spring framework, Spring Integration is remarkably powerful and yet

easy to use.



Spring Integration in Action is a hands-on guide to Spring-based

messaging and integration. After addressing the core messaging

patterns, the book turns to the adapters that enable integration with

external systems. Readers will explore real-world enterprise integration

scenarios using JMS, Web Services, file systems, and email. The book

concludes with a practical guide to advanced topics such as

concurrency, performance, system-management, and monitoring.



KEY POINTS

F * Written by the Spring Integration core team

F * Covers Spring Integration version 2.0 and Spring Framework

version 3.0

F * Provides realistic working examples

The book assumes a working knowledge of Java. Prior experience with

Spring and enterprise integration patterns is helpful but not required.
