    Overview of EAI
    ---------------------
    Enterprise application integration is an integration framework composed of a collection of technologies
    and services which form a middleware or "middleware framework" to enable integration of systems and
    applications across an enterprise.
    Many types of business software such as supply chain
    management applications, ERP systems, CRM applications for managing customers, business
    intelligence applications, payroll and human resources systems typically cannot communicate with one
    another in order to share data or business rules. For this reason, such applications are sometimes
    referred to as islands of automation or information silos. This lack of communication leads to
    inefficiencies, wherein identical data are stored in multiple locations, or straightforward processes are
    unable to be automated.
    Enterprise application integration is the process of linking such applications within a single organization
    together in order to simplify and automate business processes to the greatest extent possible, while at the
    same time avoiding having to make sweeping changes to the existing applications or data structures.
    Applications can be linked either at the back-end via APIs or (seldomly) the front-end (GUI).

    Topologies
    ----------------------
    There are two major topologies:-- hub-and-spoke, and bus.
    In the hub-and-spoke model, the EAI system is at the center (the hub), and interacts with the
    applications via the spokes.
    In the bus model, the EAI system is the bus (or is implemented as a resident module in an already
    existing message bus or message-oriented middleware).

    Application connectivity
    The bus/hub connects to applications through a set of adapters (also referred to as connectors). These
    are programs that know how to interact with an underlying business application. The adapter performs
    two-way communication, performing requests from the hub against the application, and notifying the hub
    when an event of interest occurs in the application (a new record inserted, a transaction completed, etc.).
    Adapters can be specific to an application (e. g., built against the application vendor's client libraries) or
    specific to a class of applications (e. g., can interact with any application through a standard
    communication protocol, such as SOAP, SMTP or Action Message Format (AMF)). The adapter could
    reside in the same process space as the bus/hub or execute in a remote location and interact with the
    hub/bus through industry standard protocols such as message queues, web services, or even use a
    proprietary protocol. In the Java world, standards such as JCA allow adapters to be created in a vendor-
    neutral manner.

    Integration modules
    An EAI system could be participating in multiple concurrent integration operations at any given time,
    each type of integration being processed by a different integration module. Integration modules
    subscribe to events of specific types and process notifications that they receive when these events
    occur. These modules could be implemented in different ways: on Java-based EAI systems, these
    could be web applications or EJBs or even POJOs that conform to the EAI system's specifications.
