Hi Paul,

Your post is informative, thanks !

I am aiming to create a notification server (a pub/sub and p2p model) and excited to use Spring Integration’s features. To make that notification server an isolated black box, I m thinking to expose its functionality thru rest based APIs. Since ActiveMQ is highly configurable so probably going to use it for the message management part.

Do You think that it’s a feasible & a wise decision to go for an architecture like this considering scalability & extensibilty ?

External systems > Restful APIs on Tomcat > Spring Integration acting as lightweight ESB > ActiveMQ (+MySql for message persistence and tomcat i.e. not the ‘embedded’ jetty) > Spring Integration > Restful APIs > External systems

What all pros & cons do you suggest in this scenario…..

Many thanks,
Kshitiz
