Infinity Service Bus Concepts

Use of Apache and Stardust

Integration tasks require

system connectivity and
orchestration of service invocation on systems including data and control flow.

The Infinity Service Bus accomplishes these tasks with the combination of the Apache Camel framework and Stardust and a corresponding integration between these two. The table below lists advantages of the two components:

Functionality	Apache Camel	Stardust
Connectors	> 80 Connectors	few connectors
Topologies	Split/join scenarios for control flow require complex split and aggregation rules	Full BPMN topology support
Payload Typing	Loosely typed	(Semi-)strongly typed
Version Management	None	Full version control
Configuration	Java or XML	Graphical authoring

Product Components

The following diagram lists the components supported by and shipped with ISB and indicates the origin in Apache Camel or Stardust. As an example, it shows how components of business units (e.g. the OMNI product) would be integrated in such an environment.
