j1-2k7-mtH09: Aspect Orientation for Mashups using OpenESB   13 Jul 2007 04:00 GMT
The Java Business Integration (JBI) specification, JSR-208, provides a loosely coupled integration model for distributed services within a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). The architecture allows dynamic deployment of JBI components and JBI service assemblies that can be used as Aspect and Advice mechanisms to alter the behavior of other services. Once these Aspect and Advice mechanisms are "plugged" in on-the-fly between a Consuming Service and a Provisioning Service through a Service Facade, the architecture provides a mechanism to dynamically define, verify, audit, track, enable, and enforce these cross-cutting concerns.
