The WSO2 ESB team is pleased to announce the release of version
2.1.0 of
the Open Source Enterprise Service Bus (ESB).
WSO2 ESB is a lightweight and easy-to-use Open Source Enterprise
Service Bus
(ESB) available under the Apache Software License v2.0. WSO2 ESB allows
administrators to simply and easily configure message routing,
intermediation,
transformation, logging, task scheduling, load balancing, failover
routing,
event brokering, etc.. The runtime has been designed to be completely
asynchronous, non-blocking and streaming based on the Apache Synapse
core.
WSO2 ESB 2.1.0 is developed on top of the revolutionary Carbon
platform
(Middleware a' la carte), and is based on the OSGi framework to achieve
the
better modularity for your SOA architecture. This also contains a lots
of new
features and many other optional components to customize the behavior
of the
server. Further, if you do not want any of the built in features, you
can
uninstall those features without any trouble. In other words, this ESB
can be
customized to your SOA needs.
You can download this distribution from http://wso2.org/downloads/esb
and give
it a try.
