What's new in WebSphere ESB V6.1
Check out the new features in WebSphere ESB V6.1 and its associated tooling, WebSphere Integration Developer, including transport protocol binding, data bindings, and administrative and mediation support.
Aggregation in WebSphere ESB V6.1, Part 1
WebSphere ESB mediation primitives are reusable building blocks for building mediation flows. Part 1 introduces the basic mediation primitives and describes useful patterns of aggregation.
Aggregation in WebSphere ESB V6.1, Part 2
Part 2 explains advanced configuration for the new Service Invoke mediation primitive, which lets a mediation flow invoke a service from within a mediation flow.
Aggregation in WebSphere ESB V6.1, Part 3
Part 3 describes 4 patterns for designing aggregation mediation applications in different business scenarios.
IBM Redbook draft: Getting started with WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere ESB, Part 1
Part 1 of a 3-part series, this Redbook shows you how to build and test applications for WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere ESB. Covers business integration applications, mediations, and adapters.
Manage service availability dynamically using WebSphere ESB and WebSphere Service Registry and Repository
Use WebSphere Service Registry and Repository's service life cycle governance model to describe the status of a service (maintenance or production), and WebSphere ESB’s endpoint lookup mediation primitive to query this information in the Repository and dynamically select the service endpoint at run time.
Tech tip: Improving the display of message logging information in WebSphere ESB V6.1
Changes to the Message Logger mediation primitive in WebSphere ESB V6.1 enable you to improve the display of logged messages in V6.1.
Exposing WebSphere Customer Center services through WebSphere ESB
Use the sample Insurance scenario to learn how to use the WebSphere Customer Center to expose its services through WebSphere ESB.
Using WebSphere ESB and DataPower for protocol switching of encrypted data
Part 1 of this article series shows how to use WebSphere ESB and DataPower to create a secure, agile, and extensible solution for interoperability among applications using different protocols for encrypted data.
Using WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances extensions for certificate-based XML standard encryption
Part 2 of this article series describes security for certificate-based XML standard encryption, including XML standards and WS-Encryption. Learn now to configure DataPower to promote a public key infrastructure (PKI), thus protecting sensitive data in XML documents during transit.
Pass encrypted data through WebSphere ESB and convert it to a JMS payload
Part 3 of this article series describes schema validation in WebSphere ESB and DataPower, focusing on the mediation module and on configuring WebSphere ESB to recognize encrypted data, and perform protocol switching and mediation on messages containing confidential information.
ESB implementation patterns: Choosing the right ESB
IBM offers a range of ESB products for different SOA service integration requirements. This article describes ESB implementation patterns, two detailed case studies, and how to select the best ESB for your enterprise.
Using XSLT primitives for advanced data transformation in WebSphere ESB V6.0.2
This article explains XSLT limitations in data type conversions, workarounds for them, and best practices in using the custom Java bean functionality.
WebSphere Integration Developer and WebSphere ESB, Part 2
Part 1 described different ways to perform content-based routing and service invocation. Part 2 describes different ways to perform message enrichment, transformation, and validation.
Manipulate SOAP headers in WebSphere ESB and WebSphere Process Server
This article describes the purpose of SOAP headers, explains how they are represented in WebSphere ESB as part of the service message object (SMO), and shows you how to use the supplied mediation primitives to manipulate SOAP headers and use their content to route and enrich service requests.
Business logic vs. connectivity logic: WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere ESB together
Business processes and mediations are not mutually exclusive -- in fact using them together can make development and maintenance much easier.
Manage service availability dynamically using WebSphere ESB and WebSphere Service Registry and Repository
Use the life cycle governance model of WebSphere Service Registry and Repository and the WebSphere ESB endpoint lookup mediation primitive to select the service endpoint dynamically at run time.
