Feed Description: Welcome to my blog. I am a total Java geek that lives in Milwaukee, making my living as an architect/developer, spending all my time with Java, J2EE, OO, Linux, and open source. In my spare time, when I am not in front of my computers, I spend every other minute with my other loves: My wife, books, music, guitars, Formula-1 racing and StarGate.

BEA Systems is working on delivering Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) capabilities for Web services in a product slated for release early next year. Gartner defines an ESB as a new architecture that exploits Web services, messaging middleware, intelligent routing, and transformation. ESBs act as a lightweight, ubiquitous integration backbone through which software services and application components flow.
In a eWeek story, Alfred Chuang, chairman and CEO of BEA said the company does not have a bus today. But they are in the process of building a bus to keep up with the changing nature of Web transactions.
It was also interesting to note that Chuang said that the next major version of WebLogic is perhaps a year off. I wonder if 8.5 will be released at eWorld 2004 with 9.0 or whatever the next designation coming next year.
PS: Just as an aside, The Who just released another album entitled 'Then & Now 1964 - 2004' that has 2 new tracks. Been listening to and couldn't resist the Magic Bus reference
