Hi, I’m Mike Wright, a senior software engineer, blogging about my Sun Microsystems work.
My background is Enterprise Application Integration systems (software plumbing). The About page has more about my past.
I’m part of the Service Oriented Architecture and Business Integration (SOA/BI) team. I’m developing a WS-Notification JBI Service Engine for the Open JBI Components project.
I’m also enhancing the jregress test-running framework for distributed/scalable Open ESB testing.
This blog will discuss: news, architecture, implementation, issues, enhancements, testing, administration, tools, practices, and deployment related mainly to Open ESB running on GlassFish.
