Davies J., Krishna A., Schorow D. The Definitive Guide to SOA: BEA AquaLogic Service Bus

BEA Systems, Inc., 2007. – 408 pages.
Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is a hot topic today. In this book, Jeff Davies introduces you to ESBs in general and BEA’s AquaLogic Service Bus in particular. He includes many examples and clear, understandable explanations of the product and how it can be leveraged to implement a number of ESB use cases. He takes the very practical and useful approach of picking one of the leading products in the ESB category and doing a show and tell instead of delving into a lot of philosophical discussions and arguments about various contrasting architectures or definitions for an ESB. The book is very readable and instructive. As one of the architects of the first release of the product, I feel this book is a fine introduction to AquaLogic Service Bus.Why Use a Service Bus?
