Brief History

ESB Guidance v1.0 for BizTalk R2Developed jointly by Patterns & Practices and CSD

Active Developer Community on CodePlex

Released ESBG v1 RTM in November 2007

ESB Guidance for BizTalk 2009Developed by Patterns & Practices

Started project in May 2008

Connection: protocols, adapters, and architecture With MS ESB: Strengthened end point management with JMS/WMQ and JAX RPC

Mediation: Transformation, repository, registry, trading partner management, and process management

With ESBG: Strengthened transformation, repository and registry and process management. Improved routing.

Management: Policy management, service life-cycle support, security, monitoring and management

With ESBG: improves routing, policy control, service life cycle management and overall management. Provides integration with SOA Governance solutions.

Value Add for BizTalk R2

Customer Feedback

Articulate guidance through prescriptive ESB usage patterns

Installation is complex

Hard to develop itineraries using plain XML edit

Allow configurable caching

Support routing via 3rd party adapters

Allow non-HTTP itinerary on-ramps

Support Repair and Resubmit with itinerary

Dynamic Service InvocationResolver-adapter framework (UDDI, BRE, XPATH, custom)

Itinerary ProcessingConfigurable composition of services (orchestrations, send ports, transformations and custom processing steps)

Advanced service agentClient sends request to an Itinerary On-Ramp passing itinerary SOAP or WCF Header

Adaptive service agent Client resolves itinerary via resolver service and then sends request to On-Ramp with itinerary header

Modeling Capabilities

WhyAvoid creating itineraries in plain XMLProvide itinerary validation

WhatDSL designer & Model Validation :

Itinerary model is structurally validESB Runtime components and reference data are valid ( resolvers, adapter providers, BizTalk configuration)BizTalk runtime components are deployed ( ports, maps, pipeline components)

HowDeclarative rule policies approach for model and extendersSingle tool to assemble itinerary servicesExtenders are interchangeable

Custom Itinerary Service (orchestration)

Create itinerary service (orchestration)

Create a direct-bound receive port, activating receive with appropriate filter

Retrieve the message based on the current itinerary step

Implement your logic

Copy inbound message context to the outbound message

Advance the itinerary for the outbound message

Publish outbound message to a direct-bound port

Implement extender for designer (optional)

Custom Resolver

Supported resolvers: UDDI, WSMEX, XPATH, STATIC and BRE

Moniker is a resolver configuration string

Implements IResolverProvider

Must be registered in BTSNTSvc.exe.configand Machine.config

Assembly must be in the GAC

Custom Adapter Provider

Is responsible to setting all transport-level properties

Must be registered in BTSNTSvc.exe.configand Machine.config

Implements IAdapterProvider

AdapterManager is called by Resolver (if an endpoint was resolved)

SetEndPoint() method of custom AdapterProvider called

Designer ExtensibilityWhy:

An Extender can be shipped along with custom itinerary service implementation to provide pluggable modeling and validation

AssumptionsThe itinerary DSL model is ALWAYS masterItinerary model exported to itinerary schema V1, V.NEXT

WhatResolver extenders –validate properties and reference data; then generate connection stringsItinerary service extenders- messaging, orchestration and custom extender properties

HowPluggable Model transformations
