Use Java CAPS to Streamline IT Services and Leverage Legacy Applications
Design patterns are a useful tool for streamlining enterprise integration and Web development projects: the mission-critical projects that directly impact your competitiveness. Enterprise Integration Patterns by Gregor Hohpe and Bobby Woolf (Addison-Wesley, 2004) described many of the most useful patterns for enterprise developers. Until recently, however, implementing the patterns in that classic reference required the extensive use of raw Java code. Now there’s a better alternative: Using Sun’s Java Composite Application Suite (Java CAPS), architects and developers can implement enterprise integration patterns succinctly, elegantly, and completely.
In Java™ CAPS Basics, Sun’s own Java CAPS experts show how to quickly put these new tools and technologies to work in your real-world enterprise application integration projects. After reviewing the challenges of enterprise integration, they introduce Java CAPS and show how it can simplify the development of today’s state-of-the-art “composite” applications. Next, they bridge the gap between abstract pattern languages and practical implementation details. You will learn essential Java CAPS concepts and methods in the context of the patterns you’ll actually use for real-world message and system management.
