Spring Integration version 2.1
"Spring Integration provides an extension of the Spring programming model to support the well-known Enterprise Integration Patterns. It enables lightweight messaging within Spring-based applications and supports integration with external systems via declarative adapters. Those adapters provide a higher-level of abstraction over Spring's support for remoting, messaging, and scheduling. Spring Integration's primary goal is to provide a simple model for building enterprise integration solutions while maintaining the separation of concerns that is essential for producing maintainable, testable code."
Spring Integration 2.1 includes many new features and hundreds of resolved issues including:
- RabbitMQ / AMQP support
- Support for VMWare vFabric GemFire
