Dive Deep into JBoss ESB

Yesterday Burr hosted a great webinar called "Dive Deep into JBossESB". In typical Burr style he was able to transfer an incredible amount of information. He started of with an overview of all the currently available features in JBossESB tying them to real world scenarios, while sketching out how you would convert your existing applications to get them to play nicely using SOA. The demos showed how easy this really has become. I do have to say that the webinar platform was tough on displaying the jboss-esb.xml file. It would flash by too quickly, but the good thing is that all these demos are part of the JBossESB download, so you can pick them apart and replay them on your own pace. I thought the demos themselves worked very well to demonstrate the capabilities, and they all went off flawlessly. The best demo by far was the jBPM integration demo where he moved a few arrows in the flowchart editor and having the message flow be altered. Great visual!

The questions showed that people really understood the presentation as well as the product, and almost half the people hung around for another 45 minutes to interact with the team to get their questions answered. If we ended up not answering your question, then please take them to the forum, and we'll try to answer it there. The slides have been attached to the wiki , see the link under the 'Presentations' header. If you missed it, there is another session next week May 22nd. You can sign up at the same place in the wiki. A recording of the webinar will be available next week. Don't hesitate to give us any feedback right here in the blog.

I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did :).
