A Sequence definition holds mediation logic to be performed on a message. A Sequence may be defined in-line within a proxy service definition as a sequence local to a service, or defined as a re-usable sequence specified with a name.

This guide introduces the user to the UltraESB installation folder structure, pre-requisites and starting up of the UltraESB using the default scripts

This article describes the default configuration shipped with the AdroitLogic UltraESB, and shows how the sample could be tested and extended/modified using the IDE integration support of the UltraESB. This article also shows how a JUnit test case could be written for scenarios implemented with the UltraESB

This guide introduces the user to the UltraESB configuration, testing and debugging with a supported IDE. This tutorial uses the IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition, which is an excellent IDE now available free of charge - which offers intelligent editing of the configuration as well as editing of Java code fragments embedded within the XML configuration elements

The AdroitLogic ToolBox is a service and ESB test toolkit bundled with the UltraESB. It allows one to start a sample server instance hosting RESTful web services, JAX-WS SOAP services, and raw HTTP echo servlets, Text and HTML servlets, and then issue sample requests to these services through the HTTP/S client module. The HTTP/S client supports REST, POX, Text and binary payloads (such as Hessian) and supports the POST, GET, PUT, DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS and TRACE methods in addition to many other features.The ToolBox ships with a built-in TCP dump module, able to report wire traffic as text or Hex formatted binary and additionally allows the message to be saved to a file for replay with a load test etc. Other modules of the ToolBox includes a raw socket level client usually used to test the ability of a service or an ESB to face invalid, malformed or malicious requests, and a high performance HTTP/S load test module. Finally, the ToolBox contains a module that allows a user to easily startup a sample UltraESB configuration with optional editing.

This article shows a snapshot from the code quality metrics as reported by Sonar [http://sonar.codehaus.org/] for the 1.0-beta-1 codebase of the UltraESB.
