Enterprise Integration Patterns: Designing, Building, and Deploying Messaging Solutions (Addison-Wesley Signature Series (Fowler))

by Hohpe Gregor

The advantages and limitations of asynchronous messaging as compared to other integration techniques. • How to determine the message channels your applications will need, how to control whether multiple consumers can receive the same message, and how to handle invalid messages. • When to send a message, what it should contain, and how to use special message properties. • How to route a message to its ultimate destination even when the sender does not know where that is. • How to convert messages when the sender and receiver do not agree on a common format. • How to design the code that connects an application to the messaging system. • How to manage and monitor a messaging system once it’s in use as part of the enterprise.
