PERL interfaces to Erlang's J-EAI server 1.0
ABOUT J-EAI
J-EAI (http://www.erlang.org/) is an Enterprise Integration Platform. The acronym stands for Jabber-based Enterprise Application Integration. J-EAI is the first EAI built above free standard-based EAI solution:
. XMPP is a standard XML protocol for data exchange between client and server. It is highly
extensible and fits perfectly the EAI domain.
. Jabber is an instant messaging platform build upon the XMPP protocol that as proven the
scalability and the robustness of the XMPP protocol.
Jabber is becoming an instant messaging standard and J-EAI is getting huge benefits from the
Jabber dynamic and expension. Many tools are already available for Jabber (Clients, servers,
libraries, plugins, extensions, dedicated transports, ...) and J-EAI can take advantage of
the wealth of existing code in the XMPP area.
Also, relying on the Jabber/XMPP implementation gives you two main features :
. Message queueing: When a client is offline, message are queued and can be retrieved later. No
messages are lost.
. Presence and status of connected application is handled. This is an unprecedented EAI feature
allowing application to take decision based on presence or status change of other applications.
The use of XMPP for developing an integration platform turns J-EAI into the most open, dynamic
and fast growing integration platform.
