NetBeans & OpenESB: Sun Open Source platform for implementing SOA

Corrado De Bari

Summary

The standard Java Business Integration (JBI), implemented by the Open Source OpenESB project by Sun Microsystems, introduces a great flexibility in the development of SOA-oriented applications. By means of add-ons included in the NetBeans platform, web services can be integrated and developers can build, by a visual approach, composed applications based in BPEL, which can be deployed on the Open Source Java EE Glassfish platform. This tutorial will show  how to build a new service inside the NetBeans platform, on the base of the existing assets. Moreover, the tutorial will provide a preview of the Mural project, based on the OpenESB and NetBeans platforms, which allows to face Master Data Management projects.
