The document summarizes a presentation on Project Fuji, the next generation of OpenESB. Some key points: - Project Fuji aims to improve agility, flexibility, ease-of-use and productivity compared to OpenESB v2. - New features include web-based service composition, using a domain-specific language for composition, and first-class support for enterprise integration patterns. - The architecture is modular and lightweight, running as an OSGi bundle. It focuses on conventions over configuration for higher productivity. - The presentation concludes that Project Fuji is revolutionary in simplifying and enriching the GlassFish offering while also being evolutionary in leveraging the existing OpenESB component ecosystem

4. Where is OpenESB at now?
• OpenESB v2 is a platform for SOA and Integration.
• 100% Open Source, licensed under CDDL.
• An active, responsive and growing community
>e.g. mails on the users list: Jan '09 - 883
Feb '09 - 918
March '09 - 1023
• Enterprise quality distributions and support offering
> GlassFish ESB v2 Product
• Project Fuji forms basis of next generation platform
Sun Confidential: Internal Only

5. A Growing Component Ecosystem
• Logic, event processing and orchestration
> IEP, BPEL, Camel, Java EE, POJO, Scripting, WLM
• Other Interfaces
> eMail, File, FTP, HTTP, JMS, JMSJCA, LDAP, RSS, SIP,
Scheduler, LDAP, Notification, Asterisk, Exec, HL7,
SNMP, TCPIP, UDDI, XMPP
• EIS Interfaces
> EJB, CORBA, DCOM, CICS, IMS, MSMQ, MQSeries,
Screen Scraping, SWIFT, SAP
• Databases and data manipulation
> Database, ETL, Data mashup, Encoding, MDM, XSLT
Sun Confidential: Internal Only

6. Motivation for Direction of Fuji
• Popularity of simple, productive solutions
> A growing number of developers value high productivity and
simplicity over all-encompassing but complex
• Increase productivity of existing users
> Whilst existing GlassFish ESB v2 apps work unchanged
• Make it relevant to more uses and technologies
> Many developers do tasks that are ideally suited to our platform
> ... but they don't necessarily think of it as “integration” or “SOA”
• Align with and leverage GlassFish v3
• Innovate!

• Ease-Of-Use
=
• Productivity

8. Example Uses of the Platform...
• Easy to interact with new protocols and systems
> Familiar, consistent service view
> E.g. RSS, Instant Messaging, FTP etc. all just plug-ins
> over 40 adapters already available
• Help realize SOA, light-weight SOA (WOA), EDA
• Enable Mash-ups
> Easy to expose wide range of data sources
> Data mashup; choice to combine data on client or server
• Patterns to solve common problems
> Extensible built-in constructs to realize patterns
Sun Confidential: Internal Only

9. What Properties Make it Interesting?
• Convention, Configuration, Code ...
> ... In that order for higher productivity
• Service based through and through
> Inherent Scaling without explicit coding
> Looser coupling, easier maintenance
• Grows with the application
> Pick-and-choose only the features required, from rapid
prototyping to enterprise or internet scale use cases
• Easy to add mediation
> Cross-cutting concerns addressed outside of business
code; security, auditing, logging, caching...
Sun Confidential: Internal Only

10. What Communities can Benefit?
• Scripting developers
> Leverage with any language on the Java Platform
• Many frameworks on the Java Platform
> Java EE, OSGi, POJO, Spring – use to expose and call services
• GlassFish community
> Leverage the containers and services of GlassFish v3
• REST and light-weight SOA (WOA) Developers
> Leverage Jersey and Fuji to easily get back-end data to web apps
• SOA Developers, Integration Developers
> Contemporary, productive features enrich the SOA story
• EDA Developers
> First-class support for event routing, complex event processing

11. Interesting Features
Web-Based Composition
Sun Confidential: Internal Only

12. Service Composition in a Browser
Sun Confidential: Internal Only

13. Web UI Features
• All-in-one interface for service composition
Service Definition
>
Service Wiring
>
Configuration
>
Deployment
>
• Extensible palette of services
• Version control support allows for portability across
composition and development environments
> Develop services with appropriate tooling
Sun Confidential: Internal Only

14. Web UI Advantages
• No need for a full blown IDE just to (re-)use services
• “Get started in five minutes” now feasible, no IDE
install required
• Appropriate tooling options for differing roles
> Architect composes, developer codes
• Tooling options for different preferences and skills
> A visual view might suit the “casual technologist”
> A programmer might prefer editing in textual view, but
can still visualize the flows
Sun Confidential: Internal Only

15. Interesting Features
Composition using a DSL
(domain specific language)
Sun Confidential: Internal Only

16. Hello World 1 –
Simple Routing
rss “finance-feed”
file “archive”
route do
from “finance-feed”
to “archive”
end
Sun Confidential: Internal Only

17. Hello World 2 –
Pipe-and-Filter Concept
email quot;work-mailquot;
jruby quot;filter-and-transformquot;
xmpp quot;notify-imquot;
route do
from quot;work-mailquot;
to quot;filter-and-transformquot;
to quot;notify-imquot;
end
> “think unix pipes” about how messages flow
Sun Confidential: Internal Only

18. Complexity (Sample Scenario)
A picture speaks a 1000 Words

19. Complexity
40 words to compose in the DSL

20. Domain Specific Language
Advantages
• Designed to enable “Top-down” design
• Simplicity
> Productive even with simple text editor, command line
> Syntax highlight, code completion in multiple IDEs
(NetBeans, Eclipse today)
• Extensible Pattern Constructs
> Out of the box productivity, users can extend
• Matches up well with any general purpose language
> Attractive to more communities on the Java Platform
Sun Confidential: Internal Only

21. Interesting Features
Enterprise Integration Patterns
Sun Confidential: Internal Only

22. Integration Patterns
• Patterns as a first-class citizen in the architecture
> Popular way to model common solutions
http://www.enterpriseintegrationpatterns.com
> Available both in our visual composition and text (DSL)
• Existing patterns
> Message Filter
Pipes & Filters
>
Broadcast > Split
>
Aggregate
> > Wire Tap
Content-Based Router
>
• Upcoming patterns
> Routing Slip
> Publish-Subscribe
> Many more, Extensible ...
> Scatter-Gather

23. Interesting Features
Interceptors and Aspects
Sun Confidential: Internal Only

24. Aspects in the Messaging Model
• Aspects can be added/removed/configured at runtime
> Aspects are pre-built, configurable interceptors
• Aspects address cross-cutting concerns for message based
Services
• Out of the box examples
> Logging Aspect
> Policy Aspect
> Coming: Caching, Auditing ...
• Users can write their own interceptors and aspects and
enrich the community

25. Interesting Features
Modular and Light Weight
Sun Confidential: Internal Only

26. Modularity Framework
• Core framework is an OSGi bundle
• Runs on GlassFish v3 and any OSGi R4 framework
implementation (Felix, Equinox, Knopflerfish)
• Microkernel size
> ~300 KB
• More flexibility in partitioning functionality and
embedding for given communities and applications
Sun Confidential: Internal Only

27. Light Weight in What Way?
• Light weight in download, runtime footprint
> Micro kernel architecture
> Size to your needs, add features and components
dynamically
• Light weight in development process
> Simplified tooling options, productivity features
• Light weight to add mediation
> Aspects to apply policy, interceptors managed at runtime
• Light weight in administration and maintenance
> Enhanced versioning*, manage routing*

28. Interesting Features
Topology Options
Sun Confidential: Internal Only

29. Topology Options
• Support for
> SOA style
> Explicit exposing and calling of remote services
> “Federated ESB” option
> Transparent if consumer/provider co-lcoated or remote
> Distributing the ESB at the messaging (NMR) level
> Linking both of (homogenous) clusters* and
(heterogeneous) instances
> * Once GlassFish v3 releases cluster support
• Added pluggable distribution mechanism
> First implementation uses the GlassFish mechanism –
GMS / Project Shoal
> Can plug in HTTP, JMS, ...

30. Homogenous Cluster
