I ordered this book because it had many 5 stars. My primary job is to work with Biztalk. After reading this book I know concepts but still have to buy real Biztalk book. Look for another book if you need practical info.

As to service orientated software design, this is the essential book to consult. Definitely a must-have!

This book is a messaging technology book (as the small print states.) Thus, it’s all about using messaging systems for “enterprise integration” and does not go deeply into other tech such as Web services and transactions. You should know that before you plunk down the bucks for this hard back. Also understand that we’re talking about technology that is over a dozen years old, nothing really new here.
The title should be “Designing, Building, and Deploying Messaging Solutions,” minus the “Enterprise Integration Patterns.” Would have saved me some money, I hope you don’t make the same mistake.

If you are looking for a book on messaging, this is an excellent book. It is a very good source of learning messaging technology if you are a novice in this area. It is also an excellent source of advanced knowledge for more experienced IT professionals, who may be interested in more details and would like to see a structured approach to messaging.
In many situations messaging is an excellent way of integrating applications in an enterprise. However, messaging is not the best solution for all the integrations needed in an enterprise. There are many other ways of integrating applications and Service Oriented Architecture provides a more comprehensive method of integration as it encompasses many different technologies including messaging, RPC, sockets, ORBs, and ESB. A book by the present reviewer with the title “SOA-based Enterprise Integration: A step-by-step guide to services-based application integration” provides a more comprehensive description of the integration patterns. The book is being published by McGraw-Hill in May 2009.

The patterns in this book were illustrated mostly with JMS. There were mentions of Tibco and webMethods a few places though. It makes it sound like most of the ideas for common integration patterns started in IBM labs. My background is mostly in a commercial middleware and I recognized most of the patterns from the projects I’ve done the last 6 years.
The mention of BPEL in the future trends section was prophetic. It looks like all the major vendors are moving toward orchestration using BPEL.
The design patterns were fairly comprehensive but I’ve noticed that more are being built around SOA and WOA today. Most companies are now using SOA and REST for integrations were it makes sense to do so.
