…but you still need to know (1) what services you can connect to, (2) where they are, (3) how to connect to them, (4) how to log into them, (5) how to mediate the differences in data between them.

What is an Enterprise Service Bus?An Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is a flexible connectivity infrastructure for integrating applications and services.
An ESB performs the following between requestor and service

Mediation patterns allow applications to interoperate. e.g. Route, Transform, Enrich, Filter, Monitor, Distribute,

Input source
Output target
A message flow contains the set of operations required to take a message from an originating application and deliver copies of it, some possibly transformed, to any number of connected applications for processing.
Transform
Output target
Message is routed to the ‘Generate batch file’ node, which formats the message for subsequent output to a file in the ‘Write file’ node.
Message Flow ScenarioRouting decision is made based on a field described in the incoming message
Message is transformed that is recognizable by the web service which is invoked by the subsequent ‘Call WS’ node.

HTTP Input
JMS Output
Database Insert
MQ Get

Message Broker ParsersInto this
Message Broker uses logical structures to describe physical data for similar reasons: it makes them much easier to work with, particularly when addressing or converting between data elements.
