The Enterprise Service Bus Guidance is Microsoft’s Patterns and Practices and the Connected Systems Division’s implementation of an ESB using BizTalk Server and the Enterprise Library. Not only the guidance implements a wide range of ESB scenarios, it also includes several great extras like a management portal, exception management, a lightweight mapping service, amongst others.
Version 2.0 of the ESB Guidance has been announced on Microsoft’s “Public Sector Developer Weblog” including an exciting list of new features. This release is implemented on the first beta of Microsoft BizTalk Server 2009 (to be released soon) and Enterprise Library 4.0, and should be available for download at the guidance website in the next few days.
Great stuff !! 🙂
