TIBCO – AMX Service Bus

Needs of Mediation: 

• Transport Bridging -HTTP to JMS 
  • Allows multiple transport by different service for same component/parts of it. 
  • Location Transparency – Move yr service to nodes/port
• Routing and Service Version Management
  • Content Based Routing – Rules based routing
  • Context Based Routing – With multiple version of service routing
• On-boarding Services
• Data Transformation (Implementation Transparency)
• Security and runtime governance 
  • Policy Enforcement At Runtime at both Provider/Consumer ends
  • Monitoring of message
• Promote Re-use 
• Message interaction pattern 
• Customer Task 
  • Write a File/Log/Faults/Control Flow

Types Of Mediation Task in AMSB: 

• External Interaction (Invoke operations/Query DB/Log)
• Data Exchange(Parse & Render XML, Transform/Set Exchange variable)
• Flow Control (Route / xPath / Throw Fault / Generate Reply / Set Dynamic Ref)

Editor Features: 

• Canvas: 
  • Mediation Interface, Mediation Paths and Target Interface 
• Mediation Mapping - 
  • Projection – Exposed to consumer 
  • Mediation Pallet 
    • Transform / Route / Log
    • xPath Route / Throw Fault

New Features and their details:

• Dynamic Routing 
  • Apply rules in run-time 
  • Static Routing is done at design time. 
• Data Enrichment 
  • Let you query DB for data or routing rules to make decision 
  • Query DB Task Editor – Visual SQL Enabled 
• Security Context Propogation 
  • SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language)  Token Identity Propagation 
  • More applied to SSO (Principal gets authentication from a domain and service provider choose to accept it)
  • Authentication (Identity, assertion, validaiton)
  • Authorization (LDAP based) using SAML issuer attribute in token
  • Message (decryption & encryption)  
• Invoke Operation  Mediation Task 
  • Orchastration as Mediation task  
  • Contribute content to mediation exchange – Enriching the payload by call intermediate services
• Generate Reply Mediation Task 
  • Cached response 
  • Simple orchestration
• Mediation Exchange 
  • Can rip header data from message xchange 
  • Modify data in translation 
  • By using Use Exchange Variable and apply schema 
• Parse and Render XML 
  • Parse – Binary/XML > Formated XML 
  • Render – Formatted XML > Binary/XML 
  • Use Schema for this 
• EJB Binding Type 
• Consume EJB Stateless Session Bean by exposing them as Service on Bus 
• Import Jar File 
• Create WSDL
