Open-Source Middleware Offers New Options
Middleware is the pivot man of software integration, a key player through whom all messages and transactions get passed. There are stars--such as BEA WebLogic, IBM WebSphere, and Oracle Fusion--and there's open-source middleware, a less-proven, amateur player. Yet increasingly, open-source middleware is standing up to the pros. The muscle behind it includes Linux, the Apache Web Server, the JBoss and Apache Geronimo application servers, and the Apache Axis2 messaging stack. Open source is especially capable when IT shops choose Web services for the integration process.
