Service Oriented Java Business Integration, the new book from Packt Publishing covers a detailed study of the assembly of Service-Oriented Integration (SOI) frameworks following the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) pattern. This book covers the following aspects:

• Assembling services and porting them across containers using JBI
• Exposing EJB as a WSDL-compliant service across firewalls
• Binding remote services to ESB to be consumed internally
• Exposing local components in ESB like POJO as externally accessible WSDL-compliant services
• Providing a web service gateway for external consumers
• Accessing web services over a reliable transport channel like JMS
• Implementing web service versioning using ESB
• Implementing service aggregation at ESB
• Transactions, Security, Clustering, and JMX in ESB

All the concepts in the book are explained with examples that can be built, deployed, and run using the Apache Ant tool in Apache ServiceMix, the open source ESB. This book is aimed at Java developers and integration architects who want to become proficient with the Java Business Integration (JBI) standard.

Hmm, promo messages for 3 Packt books in last week or so - looks like marketing guys are hard at work in TSS.

Nah, the Packt people have always sent in a lot of book announcements like this. You just didn't see 'em.

Last week of August . . . it's a slow week for news.

Have any of you ever had a good experience reading a Packt book? I totally respect them for being open-source oriented, but most of their books seems to be very thin tutorials on the subject.
