About The BookGet the information you need to design and build a successful integrated enterprise solution. Master the core principles and practices for Enterprise Integration—a powerful strategy for transforming all your business data, processes, and software into a shared, corporate-wide asset.

You’ll walk through critical decision points, typical problems and solutions, and effective techniques. You’ll gain a basic framework from which to build your own project—and analyze the code from a complete, working solution. Examine concepts in depth, compare approaches, and learn viable techniques to: Design your solution—and learn practical ways to model it Review the tools and methods that simplify managing endpoints Manipulate messages so data can be shared—and understood—across systems Automate business processes and execute business rules Use monitoring techniques to uncover both technical and business-process bottlenecks Design security features that address the inherent vulnerabilities in linking all your assets together Reduce defects by automating your build process and tests
