Welcome back from the holidays and Happy New Year!

Despite all the holiday shopping madness, new year parties, bowl games, our AquaLogic Service Bus team has been busy!  Soon we will be shipping ALSB 2.6 (stay tuned) and meanwhile I thought I would quickly write a note about some new excitement around new ALSB transports which were built leveraging the ALSB Transport SDK. If you recall before the break, we showcased our Tibco RV sample .

Thanks to Paco Gomez and Nigel Howard, we now released 3 additional transports to dev2dev that are pluggable to the existing AquaLogic Service Bus:

• Oracle AQ
• MSMQ
• OS/400 and i5/OS

I should note that what this essentially does is give us out-of-the-box seamless integration to ALSB from non-SOA platforms running on Oracle, Microsoft, IBM: not a bad way to start a new year. Our ALSB 2.6 supports the identical Transport SDK, so we will have no issues moving these to the new platform.

FYI – my resolutions for this New Year 2007:

• Continue to innovate our ESB to provide a feature-rich, extensible, and standardized SOA Messaging Platform
• Blog more often!

• San, It depends on the type of integration proposed for DataPower, but we can potentially leverage the ALSB Custom Transport for typical forms of integration. FYI: we are considering our own appliance based ESB capability by leveraging our ESB on the Micro Services Architecture. For more information, see this whitepaper: http://www.bea.com/newsletters/it2it/06dec/msa.jsp. I'll be posting a blog on this shortly. Thanks, Dain

• Dain, Happy to see that ALSB is rated at the top. Somehow appliance based SOA functions such as data transformation, WS security etc are preferred than code based. For example, IBM WebSphere DataPower Integration XML appliance. Can ALSB work with this wire speed XML appliance? Thanks, San
