• elemenope is the premier Open Source [FOSS] SOA and EAI Framework.
• elemenope provides the capability for massive decoupling of an enterprise's components through standardized interfaces for communications.
• elemenope's Service Oriented Architecture [SOA] predates by many years the coining of the term “SOA” and provides the most powerful SOA technology available today through separation of service transport protocol from business logic implementation. For more in depth information on this and other architectural features, please read the architectural features chapter of the elemenope User Guide.
• elemenope allows an organization to easily create a large scale multi-platform application to conduct messaging or transaction processing.
• elemenope abstracts away most connectivity issues and promotes integration of new software with legacy applications through simplification of connections.
• elemenope simplifies architecture of large systems by standardizing functional components and message pathways. One can very easily trace problems or collect metrics at multiple levels, as every unit of application functionality implements the same interface, and all requests follow a similar path.
• elemenope serves as a R&D platform for advanced architectural concepts. elemenope's market share provides solid evidence for effectiveness of particular architectural concepts.
• elemenope provides complete abstraction of both transmission protocol and functional components.
• elemenope™ implements the following connector/transport sets:
  • Java Message Service [JMS]
  • Web Services (SOAP, XML-RPC)
  • Direct Call
  • Native IBM MQSeries (WebSphereMQ)
  • Built-in mainframe connectivity classes for use when connecting to a mainframe running IBM MQSeries with the IMS Adapter or IMS Bridge
• elemenope has been in development since 1999. It and some of its precursors are currently in production use within innumerable organizations and international corporations. The elemenope site has registered over 50,000 downloads of the framework to date.

Benefits and features provided by the elemenope™ framework:

• Architectural Features
  • Abstraction of transport/protocol connectivity — Abstraction of connectivity issues promotes ability to integrate new software with legacy applications through simplification of connections.
  • Functional logic (business logic) abstraction — ability to separate business logic implementation code from the service protocol implementation which is calling it.
  • Transport/protocol abstraction — ability to change service transport protocol in configuration file with no change to business logic implementation code.
  • Payload abstraction — The ability to send a payload (the ob ject sent to the Operation) without regard to what protocol might be in use.
  • Synchrony abstraction — the proposed ability to generically call a Service/Operation without regard to whether the target service is configured as a Synchronous or Asynchronous protocol.
  • Fault Tolerant Messaging — the ability to transparently failover a call or request from one service transport protocol to another upon failure with no changes to the functional code or business logic implementation.
• SOA built into core
• Simplification of Application Architecture
• Powerful separation of Service (transport) from Operation (functional) implementations
• Massive decoupling of an enterprise’s components through standardized communications interfaces.
• Platform for simplified software development on top of an extremely advanced architectural environment.
