If you're planning to transform your existing middleware into a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) platform, consider using Apache Synapse. This easy-to-use open source alternative to proprietary Enterprise Service Buses (ESBs) costs less and requires less effort. This article gives you a thorough introduction to Apache Synapse and provides a use case to demonstrate how you can integrate and reuse existing applications using an SOA approach.
Overview of Apache Synapse
Synapse is a simple and Web services management and integration broker that can form the basis of an SOA and Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). Synapse, which recently graduated from the Apache incubator, is now a full-fledged Apache initiative as part of the Web Services project and is an offshoot of the highly successful Apache Axis2 project. It offers the ability to mediate, manage, and transform messages among a variety of different applications.
The Apache Synapse project recently released version 1.0. You can read more about this important release on the Apache Synapse Web site (see Resources for the link).
