Agenda
• What is OpenESB, GlassFish ESB?• What can you do with OpenESB?• The Open Source Community
Slide 3
What is OpenESB?
• OpenESB is an Open Source Community• Goal of the community: an Open Source ESB for SOA &
Integration• The product (the distribution) that's being built is called
GlassFish ESB

> Following an order from the ERP system> ERP system creates a file with a batch of orders in CSV
format> File needs to be picked up, read and converted to a canonical
format> The CSV file does not contain all information necessary for
the canonical format> All orders in the CSV file need to be approved by an approval
system> Each order needs to be sent out to the Internet Gateway
(TDN) in EDI format, or to a Fax gateway in PS format> A financial monitoring application needs to get a copy of the
order> An email needs to be sent to the submitter of the order when
the order goes out> The department that generally takes delivery of goods needs
to be notified of the order

Solution with OpenESB
Slide 6
Aspects of a typical problem
• A complete integration is typically split up in several interactions
• Each interaction is typically split up in several projects• ... leading to hundreds of projects• Each problem mixes:
> Message transformation> Connectivity> Business logic
• Goal:> Make managing large number of projects doable> Make building each project simple> Avoid code duplication between projects by providing off-the-
shelf solutions for common problems
Slide 7
OpenESB, the bits
• 100% Java• Consists of a core runtime + components• Components:
> processing engines, e.g. BPEL, XSLT, Complex Event Processing
> Interfaces: HTTP, file, jms, database, ftp, SAP, CICS, ...> Message transformation (different file formats)
• Large number of components (40+)• Runtime: runs on GlassFish
> JBI Runtime, JBI components, EE components• Design time: runs on NetBeans
> Many new editors, e.g. BPEL, WSDL, etc.

OpenESB, the community
• Started in 2005• Led by Sun Microsystems• Many other partners (5+) and contributors:
> e.g. Advantech, Imola, ChainBuilder, eviware, Gestalt• A lot of engineers working on Java CAPS, a proprietary
Sun product, are now working on OpenESB.> ... causing a recent surge in activity in the community
• Sun is now providing commercial support on GlassFish ESB
• A vibrant community
Slide 11
Commercial applications
• OpenESB bits are used in Java CAPS• GlassFish ESB is commercially supported• Third parties are using OpenESB as OEMs
