Abstract
Enterprise Service Bus technology is now acknowledged as a central paradigm for today’s information systems integration due to its implementation of Service Oriented Architecture. ESBs provide a set of capabilities which include message routing, transformation and service orchestration needed by end-users, business processes or other services. However, there exist different approaches toward achieving these capabilities. This paper provides comparative analysis of Mule, ServiceMix and JBoss ESB in support of application integration in open and dynamic service oriented environment. In particular we used a Multi- Criteria Decision Analysis method known as Analytical Hierarchy Process to deal with the issues of conflicting selection criteria. Results showed that no single ESB is the best solution for all criteria and indicated where each one is best suited. However Mule was found to be a preferable ESB in this context.
