Spring Integration in Action is a hands-on guide to Spring-based messaging and integration. After addressing the core messaging patterns, such as those used in transformation and routing, the book turns to the adapters that enable integration with external systems. Readers will explore real-world enterprise integration scenarios using JMS, Web Services, file systems, and email. They will also learn about Spring Integration’s support for working with XML. The book concludes with a practical guide to advanced topics such as concurrency, performance, system-management, and monitoring.

Spring Integration extends the Spring Framework to support the patterns described in Gregor Hohpe and Bobby Woolf’s Enterprise Integration Patterns. Like the Spring Framework itself, it focuses on developer productivity, making it easier to build, test, and maintain enterprise integration solutions.
