ChainBuilder ESB is a Java Business Integration (JBI) compliant solution for use in Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) environments. ChainBuilder ESB components are easily configured with drag and drop functionality and wizards through graphical user interfaces. ChainBuilder ESB includes a web admin console to remotely manage and control the ESB.
Taking advantage of the interoperability of the JBI open standard, ChainBuilder ESB was designed to work with any JBI-compliant container. ChainBuilder ESB 1.0 ships with open source Apache ServiceMix as the JBI container, but ChainBuilder ESB has also been successfully tested to work with Sun's Open ESB JBI container.
As part of the robust solution, Bostech leverages existing open source software in other areas of ChainBuilder ESB including Eclipse as the IDE framework, Apache Derby as the embedding Error database, Apache ServiceMix as the basis for the HTTP/SOAP component, Tomcat to run the Admin Console servlet, and AJAX-based technologies to create the web console.
ChainBuilder ESB is distributed free as an Open Source ESB under the General Public License. Bostech offers Professional Subscriptions for enhanced warranty and helpdesk support for the open source license. A commercial license is also available.
