WSO2 Presents Technical Webinars on Selecting and Deploying ESBs to Support SOA and Enterprise Integration Demands

Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) November 22, 2011

The vast functionality of an enterprise service bus (ESB) often makes it appear to be a universal solution for application integration, and an ESB typically serves as the backbone of a service-oriented architecture (SOA). The week of November 28th, WSO2 will present technical webinars to address two common ESB decisions faced by enterprise IT professionals: choosing the right ESB for a project, and using an ESB to support a representational state transfer (REST) architectural style within an SOA.

November 29: REST & API Management with the WSO2 ESB

This webinar will explore how IT architects and developers can implement effective REST and application programming interface (API) management using the WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus as an integration framework. The session also will explain how to expose RESTful services on the WSO2 ESB and route REST calls to applications based on different technologies, such as the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) and Java Message Service (JMS). Additionally, the session will walk through new features of the WSO2 ESB that can be used to manage RESTful resources and APIs.

The session will be presented by SOA experts Asanka Abeysinghe, WSO2 director of solutions architecture, and Hiranya Jayathilaka, WSO2 associate technical lead and product manager for the WSO2 ESB. Both Asanka and Hiranya are committers with the Apache Software Foundation, where they have contributed to Apache Synapse, the open source project that forms the core of the WSO2 ESB.

The one-hour technical webinar is being held twice on Tuesday, November 29: 9:00 a.m. 10:00 a.m. PST for the Americas and 10:00 a.m. 11:00 a.m. GMT for Europe and Asia-Pacific. For more information, visit wso2.org/library/webinars/2011/11/rest-amp-api-management-wso2-esb.

December 1: A Buyers Guide to an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)

This webinar will cover the key factors to consider when deciding to implement an ESB, including the technology stage at the time an ESB is being considered, the required adaptation of the existing architecture, and the surrounding community. Attendees also will learn about important technical aspects to evaluate, such as enterprise integration pattern support, business adapters, performance, tooling and monitoring. Finally, a review of the open source WSO2 ESB will explore its capabilities and how it maps to these requirements.

The session will be presented by Kasun Indirasiri, an SOA technology expert and WSO2 associate technical lead on the WSO2 ESB team. Kasun is also a committer with the Apache Synapse open source project, which forms the core of the WSO2 ESB.

The one-hour technical webinar is being held twice on Thursday, December 1: 9:00 a.m. 10:00 a.m. PST for the Americas and 10:00 a.m. 11:00 a.m. GMT for Europe and Asia-Pacific. For more information, visit wso2.org/library/webinars/2011/12/buyers-guide-enterprise-service-bus-esb.

Passionate and fearless, Shange's words reveal what it is to be of color and female in the twentieth century. The groundbreaking dramatic prose poem, written in vivid and powerful language that resonates with unusual beauty in its fierce message to the world proves just as meaningful to twenty-first century audiences.

For Colored Girls and the partnership with CCAP is the first in a series of productions at the Century City Playhouse that represent the move from a rental space into a small theatre with its own programming that centers around a commitment to American plays and musicals from writers with important voices, established and emerging.

It was there she changed her name to the Zulu “Ntozake” meaning “she who comes with her own things” and “Shange” meaning “who walks like a lion.” Her best known work, 'For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow is Enuf', was produced on Broadway and won an Obie Award in 1977 and became an international sensation. Several other plays and novels followed, including the 2004 children's book, Ellington Was Not a Street.
