 Integration is a necessary evil using which we can interconnect systems, applications and services to facilitate seamless information flow within and across Organization boundaries. We have been using technologies like JSP, EJB, JMS, etc. in the Java world for building Enterprise Applications (EA). But if we have to interconnect such applications, we will need Enterprise Application Integration (EAI). Many a times we also use EA technologies and tools to do EAI. This will give a short term solution to our integration problems, which may not scale up when we want to perform integration at Enterprise (Customers, Vendors, Partners, ...) level. Java Business Integration (JBI) is the new specification trying to fill this gap of EAI in the Java world. So next time when you want to integrate, don't write a single line of Java code, instead plug and assemble JBI based integration libraries to control your message flow! Does it looks promising? Believe it or read the article below to get yourself convinced.

In this article by Binildas Christudas, we will look into Integration in general and to JBI and ESB in particular. We will then explain few functionalities usually done by integration components like protocol conversions, content transformations, etc., with some code snippets too.
