The Java Business Integration (JBI) specification defines an integration architecture based on service-oriented concepts. Applications are divided into decoupled functional units. The functional units are deployed into JBI components that are hosted within the JBI environment. The JBI environment provides message normalization and message mediation among the JBI components.
The JBI environment is made up of the following parts, as shown in Figure 1.1.
The JBI component framework hosts and manages the JBI components. For more information see The Component Framework.
The normalized message router provides message mediation among the JBI components. For more information see The Normalized Message Router.
The management structure controls the life-cycle of the JBI components and the functional units deployed into the JBI components. It also provides mechanisms for monitoring the artifacts that are deployed into the JBI environment. For more information see Management Structure.
