Hang on ! Spring integration is due

One on the most expecting even happened on 25th January. Spring integration 1.0 M1 is released. This is something I have been looking for our integration framework design. People will have their options for these in different varieties. ActiveMQ is a well known option for EIP (Enterprise Integration Pattern). But it is used as MQ server more often than a platform for EIP. Then we have Mule which is an ESB solution, but Mule has its own flavor for EIP and it really works.

But spring integration framework must be much better option with time. Not just because it is spring, but it is because of its IOC. Even before you dig in to this Reference Manual you can think of how easy the applications could be wired using spring. And with spring web services and Spring integration , you can model a good SOA architecture in your applications.

I am going to have a try on this. Will update you with progress.

FWIW ActiveMQ comes integrated with Camel for providing EIP.

But Camel library is the EIP library for Spring; its a stand alone library you can use in any JVM; whether you use ActiveMQ or not.
