Spring Integration

This module supports a lot of Enterprise Application patterns and brings the Spring programming model to this topic. The Spring programming model enables extensive dependence injection support and is annotations programming-centric. The annotations instruct us as to how the framework needs to be configured and defines framework behaviors.

The POJO model is suggested because it is simple and widely known in the Java development world.

This project has some intersections with the other modules. Some other projects use these module concepts to do their work. There is a project called Spring Cloud Stream, for instance.

The Enterprise Integration patterns are based on a wide range of communication channels, protocols, and patterns. This project supports some of these.

The modules support a variety of features and channels, such as the following:

• Aggregators
• Filters
• Transformers
• JMS
• RabbitMQ
• TCP/UDP
• Web services
• Twitter
• Email
• And much more

There are three main concepts of Enterprise application integration:

• Messages
• Message channel
• Message endpoint

Finally, the Spring Integration module offers a comprehensive way to create application integration and enables developers to do it using amazing support.
