Anyone have special issue using WSO2? [closed]

Question

Anyone have any special issue when using WSO2. I'm still looking forward should I use WSO2 or Talend for Integration framework. Anyone have experience using one of them or both?

Answer 1

We tried WSO2 stack and found we were spending way too much time in just trying to get all the parts and pieces to work together and get installed. Then once we got it up and running, we couldn't figure out how to expose simple database calls as RESTful services. After a few weeks we gave up and tried Talend ESB. We found a demo and lots of others using it and great videos. We got installed and our hello world rest service up in less than 1 hour.

So if you are making a smaller solution, I strongly recommend Talend so far. It also handles load balancing and high performance; however, we haven't gotten that far. BTW, at work I use Oracle SOA suite, and I am a SOA Architect with more than 5 major SOA platforms under my belt such as TIBCO, WebMethods, and GenTran.

Just my humble 2 cents.

Selecting an enterprise service bus (ESB) for integration work needs to be done based on few important factors.

• Performance - as the ESB becomes the central hub, it better perform
• Kinds of services to be integrated - do you have all adopters that you need supported by the ESB, like SAP, FIX, HL7 etc.
• Integration language - for e.g. do you need to write Java code or is it easy to deal with using config languages like XML
• Support for monitoring and management
• Development tools

WSO2 ESB is strong in all these fronts, as proven with eBay case study and more over it is open source. You should compare the equivalent aspects in Talend before making a choice.

Answer 5

I faced some compatibility issues while using with CXF client stack. some of the WSO2 ESB / Synapse examples doesn’t work with CXF client while they work fine with Axis2 client. You have to make sure you are using WSO2 ESB supported namespaces for WS-Security , WS-Addressing m WS-Trust etc on client side. As WSO2 ESB/ Synapse is based on Axis2, If you services and/or clients are based on CXF or Sun Metro, it may be easy and less problematic using Talend or Fuse ESBs.
