The customer reviews on Amazon give Enterprise Integration Patterns five stars.

Enterprise Integration Patterns is a book I co-authored; check out the reviews for yourself. For a couple of years now, the total has been stuck at 4.0-4.5 stars because of helpful reviews like “A Tactical Book” (which says: it’s all about using messaging systems) and “Good for concepts but lacks practical usage” (which says: After reading this book I know concepts but still have to buy real Biztalk book.). I’m also amused by “interesting patterns with a little bit of hype”, which warns, “One word of warning, it’s a “Martin Fowler Signature Series Book”, which means it’s more interested in being on the bleeding edge as opposed to being thorough.” As Martin once commented to me: I feel sorry for anyone who considers this stuff bleeding edge.

Anyway, those reviews aside, there are now enough 5-star reviews to make the overall average round-up to 5.0. Not bad for a book that was published almost five years ago, an eternity for a computer book.

For some good developerWorks articles on this topic, see:

• “Services-based enterprise integration patterns made easy”: “Part 1: The evolution of basic concepts,” “Part 2: More on the evolution of basic concepts,” and “Part 3: Web services and registry“
• “SOA programming model, Part 2: Applying business integration patterns in WebSphere Process Server“
• “Toward a pattern language for Service-Oriented Architecture and Integration“
• “Application architecture essentials, Part 2: Getting started with design patterns“

The Web services client in IBM® WebSphere® Application Server uses a significant amount of memory and the footprint will increase as the number of exchanged messages increases. Eventually, the client will consume the maximum allowed Java™ heap. If there are multiple clients, or other active processes on the same machine, the user may encounter performance problems. The large memory footprint causes performance problems due to swapping and potential time-outs. Excessive garbage collection can also oc
