Spring Integration in Action

Summary

Spring Integration in Action is a hands-on guide to Spring-based messaging and integration. After addressing the core messaging patterns, such as those used in transformation and routing, the book turns to the adapters that enable integration with external systems. Readers will explore real-world enterprise integration scenarios using JMS, Web Services, file systems, and email. They will also learn about Spring Integration's support for working with XML. The book concludes with a practical guide to advanced topics such as concurrency, performance, system-management, and monitoring.

The book features a foreword by Rod Johnson, Founder of the Spring Network.

Spring Integration extends the Spring Framework to support the patterns described in Gregor Hohpe and Bobby Woolf's Enterprise Integration Patterns. Like the Spring Framework itself, it focuses on developer productivity, making it easier to build, test, and maintain enterprise integration solutions.

Spring Integration in Action is an introduction and guide to enterprise integration and messaging using the Spring Integration framework. The book starts off by reviewing core messaging patterns, such as those used in transformation and routing. It then drills down into real-world enterprise integration scenarios using JMS, Web Services, filesystems, email, and more. You'll find an emphasis on testing, along with practical coverage of topics like concurrency, scheduling, system management, and monitoring.

This book is accessible to developers who know Java. Experience with Spring and EIP is helpful but not assumed.

Purchase of the print book comes with an offer of a free PDF, ePub, and Kindle eBook from Manning. Also available is all code from the book.

Mark Fisher is the founder of the Spring Integration project. Currently at VMware, he continues to lead the development of Spring Integration while exploring the intersection of big data and messaging. He has been a committer on a number of Spring projects, including the Spring Framework itself and Spring AMQP, which he cofounded. Mark speaks regularly at conferences and user groups about messaging, data, integration, and cloud computing.

Jonas Partner is the CEO of OpenCredo, a London-based consultancy with a strong focus on open source. As part of OpenCredo, Jonas has been a key part of many complex high-performance messaging projects. Before cofounding OpenCredo, Jonas worked for SpringSource, where he began his involvement with the Spring Integration project as one of the early committers.

Marius Bogoevici is a Senior Software Engineer with Red Hat, leading the Spring integration efforts at JBoss. He's the lead for Snowdrop, a utility package for JBossspecific extensions to Spring, and also contributes to Weld, the JSR-299/CDI reference implementation, and other Java EE—related developer initiatives at JBoss. Marius has more than 15 years of experience developing and architecting software systems. Prior to joining Red Hat, he was a Spring consultant with SpringSource and a contributor to the Spring Integration enterprise integration framework.

Iwein Fuld is a consultant at Xebia where he focuses on high-quality development and coaching teams. He's a jack-of-all-trades, but keeps coming back to server integration problems and algorithms. Iwein has been a committer on the Spring Integration project since early 2008. Apart from being an expert on TDD,concurrency, and messaging, Iwein especially enjoys building agile teams and lean startups.
