EIP

EIP stands for Enterprise Integration Patterns.
EIP is not a standard, but a solution to integration issues. It is based on a book that lists patterns to solve communication and routing issues between applications or systems.

The most famous implementation of EIP is Apache Camel. It allows to define routes and facilitates the use of EIP.
At the time Camel was created, Petals developed its own EIP implementation, in a JBI component for EIP. This component is very efficient and robust, but however supports less patterns than Camel. Due to different objectives, Petals EIP remained in the scope of Petals.
