From the Back Cover

Would you like to use a consistent visual notation for drawing integration solutions? Look inside the front cover.
Do you want to harness the power of asynchronous systems without getting caught in the pitfalls? See "Thinking Asynchronously" in the Introduction.
Do you want to know which style of application integration is best for your purposes? See Chapter 2, Integration Styles.
Do you want to learn techniques for processing messages concurrently? See Chapter 10, Competing Consumers and Message Dispatcher.
Do you want to learn how you can track asynchronous messages as they flow across distributed systems? See Chapter 11, Message History and Message Store.
Do you want to understand how a system designed using integration patterns can be implemented using Java Web services, .NET message queuing, and a TIBCO-based publish-subscribe architecture? See Chapter 9, Interlude: Composed Messaging.

Utilizing years of practical experience, seasoned experts Gregor Hohpe and Bobby Woolf show how asynchronous messaging has proven to be the best strategy for enterprise integration success. However, building and deploying messaging solutions presents a number of problems for developers. Enterprise Integration Patterns provides an invaluable catalog of sixty-five patterns, with real-world solutions that demonstrate the formidable of messaging and help you to design effective messaging solutions for your enterprise.

The authors also include examples covering a variety of different integration technologies, such as JMS, MSMQ, TIBCO ActiveEnterprise, Microsoft BizTalk, SOAP, and XSL. A case study describing a bond trading system illustrates the patterns in practice, and the book offers a look at emerging standards, as well as insights into what the future of enterprise integration might hold.

This book provides a consistent vocabulary and visual notation framework to describe large-scale integration solutions across many technologies. It also explores in detail the advantages and limitations of asynchronous messaging architectures. The authors present practical advice on designing code that connects an application to a messaging system, and provide extensive information to help you determine when to send a message, how to route it to the proper destination, and how to monitor the health of a messaging system. If you want to know how to manage, monitor, and maintain a messaging system once it is in use, get this book.

The bible of asynchronous messaging

Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2018

This is an excellent book on the patterns and concepts in enterprise integration. I've been doing enterprise integration since this book was written with a middleware product (webMethods) and J2EE and finally got around to reading this book. I found the book to be very well written and easy to read: the authors walk you through different thought processes for solving a particular problem and why the pattern is the best solution. Even though the book is 15 years old as of my review it is still pertinent today.

The patterns explain the different problems one typically needs to solve to do asynchronous messaging integration with legacy and modern applications.
Many of the patterns are included in commercial middleware products like webMethods, Tibco, Mulesoft, etc. Others you will need to build yourself to solve specialized problems.

The book examples are JMS and MSMQ centric, with a few Tibco examples too. The code examples are geared toward building solutions with those simple technologies rather than showing all of the middleware vendor tools. Therefore, I wouldn't read this book to learn how to code things. Read it to understand how asynchronous messaging problems should be solved, and to evaluation SOA and middleware products for features that implement these patterns.

In the last few years SOA and microservices have been the buzzwords in enterprise integration, but there are still many patterns from this book you may use because there are still many legacy apps in use that can't be modified to directly support web services, and many tasks still need to be asynchronous and decoupled.

Incorrectly formatted for the Kindle

Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2010

-- I posted the following review as a comment a few months back and have now elevated it to a review. --
Most all examples and sidebars are rendered off the screen as they are incorrectly formatted for the Kindle. To read these examples / sidebars, you need to use the 5-way navigator to move right/left/right/.... for EACH single line. That's horrible. What's bad is that the issue exists even on Kindle DX (3rd gen). So bad such a great book is alienated by this disgusting issue. I lodged a complaint with the publisher though and they say they have forwarded it to the Digital Books Department. Hopefully, they'll roll out an update. I'll repost if I get any update.

Here are the ticket numbers (just in case if someone from the publishing / development team is reading this): 100909-001507, and 100924-000474.

-- Update on 10/6/2010 --
I've contacted the publisher many times and they opened two tickets for this issue telling me the issue was reported to the Ebook Department. But then nothing happens and their stupid system AUTOMATICALLY closes tickets after two/three days. I'm giving up on this; if they don't correct the formatting, I'll almost certainly not buy this book for my Kindle even though I believe it's a great book.

-- Update 11/15/2011 --

The ebook content is still broken and despite many long phone calls and follow ups with both Amazon and the publisher, it seems to be going nowhere. In fact Amazon told me this was beyond their control and the publisher "may" fix it "if they want" and that they have communicated the issue to the publisher through proper channel. I personally think that the publisher is not willing to fix it for reasons I can't figure.

I can only request the authors and Martin Fowler (being the series editor), to take action and work with the publisher to resolve the issues with the Kindle e-book version.

P.S. I'd like to iterate that this is an issue with the e-book version only. The book content is superb just like most books in the series with Martin Fowler's signature.

SW Integration Engineering at its best

Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2005

Verified Purchase

Deserves to take place in the great line up of GoF, POSA1, POSA2, EAA, Core Security Patterns (other "patterns" books omitted intentionally).

I have done Messaging and message based integration before, but this book takes essentially what is an art form and makes a science out of it.

First it starts with 4 different styles of integration (File based, Shared Database, RPC, Messaging) and discusses them intelligently giving their advantages and disadvantages.

Then it gets in to the major aspects/ pieces of Message based integration (Message, Channel, Routing, Transformation, End Points, System Management etc). It again discusses them as patterns and develops a good vocabulary of the messaging domain.

Then comes the meat where for each aspect of Messaging, it gives about 8 to 15 specific patterns, names them, shows their pros and cons, gives the trade off and intelligently discusses their usage. As part of the examples it draws example from JMS/ TIBCO/ MSMQ etc. Priceless.

What I loved about this book is how it makes you rethink everything you may have been doing before in software architecture/ integration using technologies such as Web Services, JMS, J2EE etc.

For example, many would not have fully groked MDBs as "event driven", "competing", "transactional" message consumers, that are suited for "Point to Point" integration. Yes I know every body uses them but do you really understand the implications for transaction scope and threading? . Or Polling message consumers have their advantages ?

Good discussion on relate standards and technologies included (Web Services, Axis Implementation, WS-*, SOAP etc)

Buy this guys and may be enterprise integration would be less messy.

Excellent Reference

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 17, 2018

Verified Purchase

In my job role as Solutions Architect my colleague recommended this book. Having loaned his copy I decided to get my own - it's as simple as that. I have to say for an IT book to be printed in 2004 and yet still be relevant is a surprise. The topics covered are as relevant than as they are today. Applications need to talk to each other, there are still challenges to integration, so I can't recommend this highly enough. If you have worked in integration for a couple of years, you'll find that you've probably seen many of the issues explained in this book and will recognise some of the patterns...

An excellent book which will become a standard reference

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 24, 2005

This book could really be titled "Everything You Wanted to Know About Message-Based EAI, But Were Afraid To Ask". It's a very comprehensive book, which goes beyond mere patterns to introduce the reader to a wide range of topics in the world of messaging. It forms a strong and useful counterpart to the many more general books on architecture patterns, for example Martin Fowler's "Enterprise Architecture Patterns" in the same series.
The book is very accessible, written and illustrated clearly and assuming very little initial knowledge. However it will also provide value to the experienced messaging developer, formalising his or her knowledge and suggesting new ways of using messaging to solve different problems. I particularly like the way that Hohpe and Woolfe lay out each pattern using language and visual styles to naturally delimit the sections of the pattern, rather than using lots of sub-headings. This increases the readability significantly.
Several books on patterns talk about a "pattern language", the idea of describing a complete design in terms of named patterns for the architectural form of each component. However this is one of the first books I have read which really adopt this idea - the authors have created a new visual language, which they first use to describe basic patterns in terms of basic message constructs, and then describe more complex patterns and solutions using the icons for the intermediate patterns. Best of all you can download a Visio stencil from the website and start using and extending the pattern language yourself.
The book is remarkably technology-agnostic, providing many examples in both .NET and Java forms, and with a fair sprinkling of other technologies, for example using proprietary EAI tools such as Tibco. I have certainly seen and used some of these patterns in older file-based integration schemes, and I suspect many of them work for Web Services too. As such the book has a much better claim to be a true "patterns" book than one wedded solely to a single technology base.
Each group of pattern descriptions is followed by a detailed "practical example" section which shows how one or more messaging technologies can implement the preceding patterns to solve real problems. There aren't any real "antipatterns" in the book, but the book is realistic about when a given technology or pattern should not be used, which is just as valuable.
If I have a complaint it's a minor one, that the book is too long. Including the multiple introductions, it runs to over 700 pages. Dipping in and out my read through has taken many months. Like many patterns books, in an attempt to keep each description self-contained you find by half-way through that some basic things are being repeated regularly. A more "normalised" structure might have been better. Also, although most of the book is very readable, a couple of chapters by "guest" authors, including the final one on Web Service standards, take a more academic tone.
That said, this is an excellent book, which can be read from cover to cover, or stands as a general-purpose reference, and I strongly recommend it.

Comprehensive and Brilliant

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 30, 2009

Verified Purchase

Along with Patterns Of Enterprise Application Architecture, this book holds the core knowledge for developers looking to get more involved in design and those looking to step up as an Architect in an environment that involves some level of messaging.

I came to this book while working on a project that required two disparate databases to be synchronised. The initial painful experiment of polling for changes was thrown out and we moved to an efficient event-based system using a message queue. Using this book allowed us to side step many issues (such as mutating table errors) and also provided us with a syntactically reference which created a common vocabulary. Such a simple thing but it saved hours of time as we were all aware of what each other in a large team mean when we discussed such things as Message Channels, Idempotent Receivers, Content Enricher and Even-Driven Consumers.

As a tip, I would recommend that all Java developers download Apache Camel which was designed around these patterns. This allows you to see first hand how and why these patterns are so useful and really compliment the book.

Not dated much at all

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 14, 2009

This book first hit the streets in 2004, when EAI hype was in full swing and MOM was seen as a bit of a silver bullet. Thanks to the subsequent over-promotion of SOA (anyone noticing a pattern?) and many poor messaging implementations a lot of the good ideas have been a bit sidelined.

I've just purchased the December 2008 reprint of this book and frankly it's as valid today as it was when it came out. Messaging as an implementation style may not be quite as popular, what with the rise of data/compute grids etc, but problems and patterns are largely timeless. As a handbook for enterprise integration I haven't seen a better guide. I give it four stars only because I'd like to see a new edition that deals with integration around contemporary approaches like cloud and mega-scale patterns like map/reduce.

I paid just under thirty quid, which is slightly above average for a tech book but worth every penny when you think a few dodgy design decisions would cost your company vastly more to fix.

Still one of the best books on messaging

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 5, 2014

Verified Purchase

Although I have kept this book on my wish list for many years because I generally buy cutting technology titles, I finally decided to buy it and got the kindle version. Now I regret I didn't buy it years ago, as it would have given me the knowledge I've learnt in the hard way through experience. I believe it is still the best book on messaging and a must have for any serious software architect. I especially like the balance between theoretical content and practical examples.
