More on ESBs

Just to muddy the waters in trying to explain what an ESB is (and why we need one) I came across this (dated 2005) presentation from Jim Webber (you have to display it in presentation mode to see it all). Jim doesn't hold much with ESB vendors and believes that the "bus" should just be SOAP and WS-Addressing.

The slide set reminds of a colleague (I wish I could
remember his name) who once said "it is almost criminal to let a vendor determine your architecture".

P.S. It's good to see you are still blogging. I must remember to come by more often!
