[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss ESB] - Re: Supporting entry-point

[tirelli]

Hi Jeff,

Let me try to understand this architecture from a higher level point of view, not ESB or Drools specific:

* the order service executes the business tasks it needs to execute, and also publishes events.

* the customer service executes the business tasks it needs to execute, and also publishes events.

* the delivery service is interested in the events published by the order service and by the customer service and uses them to take business decisions. 

Is that the case? 

>From a business rules/event processing perspective, it seems to me that the delivery service should register itself to listen to the events from the other services, and tie the entry points to whatever publishing mechanism the other services use and not the other way around, but I don't know much about the current ESB architecture, so I will start doing some research right away. 

Can you plz comment on my point of view above?

Thanks,
Edson
