UPDATE: Microsoft ESB Guidance

In October of 2006, we announced the preview of the Microsoft ESB Guidance at Microsoft SOA Conference in Redmond. This consisted of the following which enabled Microsoft partners and customers to build large and small-scale ESB solutions:

* Sample code built on BizTalk Server 2006

* Architectural guidance, patterns and practices

* Reusable BizTalk Server ESB and .NET components:

* Dynamic Transformation Service

* Dynamic End Point/Configuration Service

* Itinerary based Routing & Service Invocation

* ESB Portal

* Exception Management framework

* Namespace Resolution Service

* JMS (Java Message Service) pipeline component (IBM JMS over WMQ) 

Since that time we’ve achieved significant momentum:

* Several hundred requests for the ESB Guidance

* Several dozen customers incorporating the guidance into their projects

* Dedicated Microsoft ESB web site: https://www.microsoft.com/biztalk/solutions/soa/esb.mspx

* Dedicated Partner site for delivering the ESB Guidance: https://www.microsoft.com/biztalk/solutions/soa/esbpartners.mspx

* Press on the ESB Guidance from the SOA conference

Due to the overwhelming demand and popularity of the ESB Guidance, we (the Connected Systems Division) and the Patterns and Practices group have agreed to jointly develop the ESB Guidance moving forward. 

As a result of the iteration of this partnership, we’ve released a new June Community Release build of the ESB Guidance on the new ESB Guidance community site, where all future iterations will be released here until our final release in October later this year. 

Although this June Community Release focused on bug fixes and refactoring the ESB Guidance for BizTalk 2006 R2, future releases will incorporate many new and augmented features such as:

* UDDI publishing and richer resolution options

* WS-MetadataExchange

* Enhanced ESB Portal and Exception Mediation

* Request-Response support for on and off ramps

* WCF Adapter integration

* New Samples and Guidance

* Third party SOA Management and Governance integration:

* Amberpoint Integration

* SOA Software Integration

Through our partnership with Patterns and Practices, we hope to raise the bar of quality and build an extended community to support our customers as they move forward with the ESB Guidance.
