Among the first JBI compliant integration products available, ChainBuilder ESBoffers a state-of-the-art graphical (rather than a programmatic) user interface.What this means for developers is a premier Visual Enterprise Integration solutionwhere individual ESB services and other integrated application components can beshown in a high-level graphical integration flow. This visual depiction of theentire integration environment allows developers to step back and consider the flowof their application integration and then drill down on each component to definespecifics.
ChainBuilder ESB components are written in Java and easily configured via agraphical user interface plugged into the popular Eclipse development platform. TheproductÂ's adherence to the JBI specification and use with open source tools likeEclipse, illustrates BostechÂ's commitment to standards-based, open technology. TheAlpha release of ChainBuilder ESB shows feature depth with several editors,including component flow, mapping, custom format and EDI X12 editors.
 Interestingly, since the JBI standard is based on XML messages, integrationproducts to date have centered solely on XML translations. says Eric Lu, CTO ofBostech Corporation,  But Bostech understands most integration efforts includestrategic backend systems that operate with non-XML data formats. We made sure thatthis initial offering of ChainBuilder ESB had industry standard editors to manageEDI X12, fixed and variable formats  the formats that organizations with legacyapplications absolutely require. Supporting these unique data formats offersbusinesses a critical advantage to accelerate the incorporation of their disparateapplications entry into an SOA environment.Â
