A new open source ESB (enterprise service bus) from Iona will help companies integrate departmental applications for SOAs (service-oriented architectures) and Web services deployments, according to Iona Technologies, which is sponsoring the project.
Celtix 1.0 was unveiled earlier this month. The Java-based ESB is hosted by the ObjectWeb Consortium and is one of a growing number of open source ESBs in a field that includes SymphonySoft's Mule and LogicBlaze's ServiceMix.
Web Services-Based Java Apps
ESBs provide Web services-based application integration in service-oriented architectures.
Celtix will run with any Java Business Integration container and features an implementation of the JAX-WS (Java API for XML Web Services) specification for building Web services-based Java applications.
