Service Provisioning Through ESB

Overview

Similar to SOA, Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is neither a technology nor a product in itself, but a platform, a set of tools, and a design philosophy. Using ESB, the user can deploy SOA components in an autonomous but federated manner. This allows easy growth for applications, application boundaries, and enterprises. The industry trends incorporate the platform and tool support for ESB into product stacks. This means the way the user architect and design components and how he weave them together to realize services are going to change - change in such a way that he have to connect together abstract end points and associate them with context information to form loosely coupled solutions.
