Orchestrating Long Running Activities with JBoss / JBPM
Orchestrating activities that extend over very long periods (hours, days, weeks) is a common design issue. Although technically BPM engines are specifically design to ideal with this issue, they do so with standalone processes with corresponding issues arising from callback mechanisms. This article we will show one of the approaches to use JBoss jBPM for solving this problem.

Choosing between Routing and Orchestration in an ESB
In this article, Adrien Louis and Marc Dutoo discuss the differences and relative merits of using orchestration vs. routing in a typical ESB setup. They discuss various approaches to connecting services, from low level ones like customized routing, to high-level ones using business oriented approaches like workflow and orchestration, and conclude that there is no one-size-fits-all solution.

ESB Topology Alternatives
In this article, Adrien Louis discusses the pros and cons of two topology alternatives for ESB-based SOAs: A single ESB for the company vs. a system of "departmental" ESBs that are connected to each other. Adrien describes how the alternatives affect issues such as administration, business monitoring, governance, reliability, and orchestration.
