Robert Thullner recently finished his excellent master-thesis with the title "Implementing Enterprise Integration Patterns using Open Source Frameworks". In his thesis he is refering to the EI Patterns described by Hohpe and Woolfe. Robert analyses a set of leading OS frameworks in this domain (Mule, Apache ActiveMQ, Service Mix and Camel) for how they implement patterns and how they support developers in implementing EI scenarios using patterns. (Particularly Camel impressed us from the conceptual level and also the ease of use).
He defines a set of scenarios using specific patterns (the figure above shows one of the scenarios) and are implemented with various (combinations) of technologies to evaluate and demonstrate the capabilities of the specific technology or mix of technologies. Finally he categorises the frameworks and gives hints on implementation best-practices.
I don't want to go into details here, but who is interested in Enterprise Integration Patterns and Open Source frameworks might want to download the full thesis here. The sources of his examples can be downloaded as well.
