I'd be evaluating Open Source SOA solutions. What are the options?

I'm looking for something that provides (possibly) complete SOA stack.

I'd like below features -

1. BPEL
2. BPM
3. ESB
4. SOA Governance
5. Good tooling

Righ开发者_运维百科t now Glassfish ESB looks like a good option. Are there other good Stacks?

WSO2 provides a complete open source SOA stack. And it's the only vendor who provides a complete SOA stack from data to screen, running both on-premise and in the cloud.

WSO2 SOA stack includes...

• WSO2 ESB
• WSO2 Business Process Server [BPEL]
• WSO2 Application Server[Service and Web Ap hosting]
• WSO2 Identity Server [OpenID,WS-Trust,XACML, OAuth, SAML2]
• WSO2 Business Activity Monitor
• WSO2 Business Rules Engine
• WSO2 Data Service Server [Expose you data as a service]
• WSO2 Mashup Server
• WSO2 Gadget Server
• WSO2 Message Broker
• WSO2 Complex Event Processing Server
• WSO2 Governance Registry

You can get more details about WSO2 SOA stack visiting http://wso2.org

I got done reading "Open Source SOA" a few months back. It goes over alot of the open source stuff related to SOA and does a good compare/contrast between the various options. I'd highly recommend looking at this.

Mule is a very popular open source ESB tool. If Mule/Glassfish provide a lot of functionality you don't really need, maybe a combination of ActiveMQ and Spring Integration is the sweet spot for you.

---

I've mentioned several open source ESB in this previous answer but, given your requirements, I'd short list ServiceMix, JBossESB and OpenESB.

I don't have much experience with JBossESB but I received good feedback from trustable sources and I know it has good tooling. OpenESB is definitely a serious candidate (although there is a little incertitude about its future). I don't find the documentation of Service Mix perfect (hard to find things).

So my choice would be between OpenESB and JBossESB (note that they don't cover governance which is actually more a human than a technical issue in my opinion).

Apache ServiceMix provides an ESB infrastructure that will do SOA in an extremely full featured way. Apache Camel can also be plugged into ServiceMix for enhanced routing and messaging rules.

---

I'm seriously looking at Sun GlassFish ESB. Although I'm a .net developer the tooling and examples (and book on amazon) are very good and easy to use. It does not cover the governance but very strong BPEL - For what I want I do not even have to know Java - bonus.

Something I have been working for scientific workflows using service-oriented technologies might be useful to you. It's called OMII-UK and the distribution by now contains quite a stack of features. All based on opensource techs (e.g., Tomat, Axis, ActiveBPEL, Eclipse BPEL...). Might be worth a look.

Progress FUSE (Apache ServiceMix) is an answer to the lack of documentation with pure ServiceMix.

You can use Apache ODE to integrate BPEL.
