Artix

John Davis, technical director and head of research at IONA, tells us about Artix uses in the real world. Artix is a SOA infrastructure suite with components for ESB, mainframe, and Java Enterprise Edition components. John tells us about a high-throughput deployment that combines with Mule ESB or potentially others open-source ESBs with Artix, and gives overall advise on how to build a high-performance, high-troughput application. When and where to use an ESB, determining when to use ORM like Hibernate, and combining heterogeneous systems are some of the topics that he covers.
