SPRING INTEGRATION IN ACTION

ABOUT THE BOOK

Spring Integration in Actionis an
introduction and guide to enterprise
integration and messaging using the Spring
Integration framework. The book starts off
by reviewing core messaging patterns, such
as those used in transformation and routing.
It then drills down into real-world enterprise
integration scenarios using JMS, Web
Services, filesystems, email, and more. Youll
find an emphasis on testing, along with
practical coverage of topics like concurrency,
scheduling, system management, and
monitoring.

SUMMARY
Spring Integration in Actionis a hands-on guide to Spring-based messaging and integration. After addressing
the core messaging patterns, such as those used in transformation and routing, the book turns to the adapters
that enable integration with external systems. Readers will explore real-world enterprise integration scenarios
using JMS, Web Services, file systems, and email. They will also learn about Spring Integrations support
for working with XML. The book concludes with a practical guide to advanced topics such as concurrency,
performance, system-management, and monitoring.
