Building an Enterprise Service Bus for Real-Time SOA: A Messaging Middleware Stack

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) has become the preferred methodology to build complex enterprise applications. Inside an enterprise, an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) has emerged as a powerful and flexible solution to have services and applications interact with each other, independently of their location and connectivity requirements. ESBs are implemented with some form of middleware, and messaging middleware has been playing a major role in integrating applications and services in the J2EE space thanks to standards such as the Java Messaging Service (JMS). We observe that in an enterprise the need to use real-world current information and the shift of complexity toward higher layers of the SOA-based applications (e.g., the
