Sun Java Composite Application Platform Suite (Java CAPS)

ESB

GlassFish Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)

GlassFish Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is a lightweight and agile ESB platform that packages the innovation happening with Project Open ESB, the GlassFish application server, and the NetBeans IDE into a commercially supported, enterprise-class platform.

At a Glance

  • Clustering, load balancing and high availability for mission critical enterprise deployments
  • Provides a lightweight, modular architecture that enables agile SOA-based service development, deployment, and testing
  • Delivers a plug-and-play architecture where components and services can be integrated in a vendor-independent way
  • Promotes greater innovation and transparency through the open-source, ESB-community approach
  • Allows vertical and horizontal scalability via the asynchronous, decoupled design model of JBI-based component architecture
  • Provides your choice of development language, tooling, topology, and architectural style (MOM, SOA, EJB, BPM, EDA, and so on)
  • Part of the Sun GlassFish Portfolio, a cost-effective, open Web application platform that combines the best of open-source software and support in a single package.

Clustering - Load Balancing & High Availability

A key benefit of GlassFish ESB is the ability to provide developers with a lightweight, right-sized development environment and scale to a larger solution only when project scope expands. This approach ensures GlassFish ESB is targeted specifically to current needs, delivering a faster deployment time. As application usage increases, there is a demand for additional performance and high availability. GlassFish ESB meets these scalability needs through clustering, providing increased performance and high reliability. Furthermore, GlassFish ESB clustering provides easier maintenance and better support for decentralized and distributed environments.
