  | Exposing RESTful services using an Enterprise Service Bus
As REpresentational State Transfer (REST) becomes more popular, more non-RESTful service consumers and providers will need to use REST-style invocation. ESBs can provide the mediation to
expose non-RESTful services for REST-style invocation without requiring changes to those services, and this article shows you how WebSphere ESB, WebSphere Message Broker, or WebSphere DataPower can
serve as the ESB in that role. |

| An ESB gateway with WebSphere Process Server & WebSphere ESB
This article explains the ESB gateway architectural component -- why it's important, and how it differs from the broader ESB concept. You then learn how to design and implement an ESB gateway using
WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere ESB. |
|
| Policy lookup with WebSphere Service Registry and Repository using the policy resolution primitive in WebSphere ESB V6.2
Learn how to use the policy resolution primitive for policy lookup from WebSphere Service Registry and Repository and how to control message content and mediation flow using a specific policy. |
|
| Using a cache to improve performance for custom policy retrieval from WebSphere Service Registry and Repository in WebSphere ESB
Quickly add a cache to a mediation flow component using the DistributedMap feature in WebSphere ESB. |
|
| Building mediation flows in WebSphere Integration Developer for deployment on WebSphere ESB
This article shows you a procedure for developing mediation flow components in WebSphere Integration Developer that helps you minimise development time, proceed in a logical order, avoid later
rework, and create more maintainable artifacts. |
|
| What's new in WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus V6.2
This three-part series describes new and enhanced features in WebSphere ESB V6.2 and its associated tooling, WebSphere Integration Developer, including transport protocol bindings, data binding
capabilities, mediation primitives, and declarative flow control. |
|
| Dynamic connectivity with WebSphere products: a new exercise in the SOA Sandbox for Connectivity
This new exercise lets you gain hands-on experience implementing an intelligent, dynamic endpoint selection using WebSphere Integration Developer, WebSphere ESB, and WebSphere Service
Registry and Repository. |
|
| Configuring SSL for secure outbound Web service calls from WebSphere Commerce to WebSphere ESB
Learn how to configure Secure Socket Layer (SSL) for the HTTPS transport protocol and for secure outbound Web service calls from WebSphere Commerce to WebSphere ESB. |
|
| Solution design in WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere ESB, Part 1
This article shows you how to design SOA-based solutions using WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere ESB. Part 1 explores how design techniques change as an SOA matures. |
|
| Interoperability between WebSphere ESB Service Gateway and the Microsoft .NET WCF
Set up a .NET Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) Web service and client to operate with WebSphere ESB V6.2, which lets you configure a service gateway as an intermediary between
many clients and services, and perform a common set of actions on the headers or data of these disparate transactions. |
|
| Securing JMS connections to WebSphere ESB V6.1
This article shows you how to implement security using WebSphere ESB V6.1 and a J2EE client container application communicating via JMS messaging. |
|
| Using WebSphere ESB V6.0.2 as a Web services bridge between isolated IP V6 and IP V4 networks
Using an ESB for the inevitable migration to Internet Protocol V6 can help protect your legacy investments. |
|
| Exploring the ESB, Part 4: Federated connectivity
The ESB is just one part of the service connectivity infrastructure in a large enterprise SOA, so this article introduces the concept of federated connectivity, describes its principles, and suggests
an approach for creating effective federated topologies in an SOA. |
|
| Setting up clusters in WebSphere ESB V6.1
This article shows you how to set up high-availability clusters in WebSphere ESB V6.1, including how to prepare the machines and how to run the clustering wizard. |
|
| Expanding clustered topologies for WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere ESB
New BPM and ESB applications may require you to expand the topology to take advantage of increased IT resources or to isolate applications. This article describes a "golden topology" proven
in production deployments, and shows you how to grow the topology from within the cluster and by adding new clusters. |
|
| Using WebSphere MQ bindings in WebSphere ESB, Part 1: Manipulating MQ headers
This article describes the MQ header and shows you how to modify it to create the message format required by native MQ apps. Includes sample code using BOMapper and
MessageElementSetter mediation primitives. |
|
| Using WebSphere MQ bindings in WebSphere ESB, Part 2: Creating MQ headers with the MQ Structures API
When a request message is received in SOAP, it does not contain the message headers required by WebSphere MQ. The WebSphere MQ binding can add the headers, but they are not
configurable. This article shows you how to use the MQ structures Java API to add MQ headers from a custom mediation. |
|
| Using WebSphere MQ bindings in WebSphere ESB, Part 3: Using custom WebSphere MQ headers
WebSphere ESB and WebSphere Process Server provide data bindings that enable parsing of various WebSphere MQ headers. However, many native WebSphere MQ applications employ
user-defined headers, and this article shows you how to parse them using the data binding API to create custom header data bindings. |
|
| A policy-driven SOA using WebSphere Service Registry and Repository and WebSphere ESB
Use standard WS-Policy documents stored in a registry to impact runtime behavior in an ESB. |
