Petals ESB "Shared Area"

Introduction

The Petals ESB "Shared Area" is an internal component storing internal data. The Petals ESB "Shared Area" can be viewed as a database shared by all Petals ESB nodes of a given Petals topology.

For example, before sending a message to a service provider, the Petals ESB "Router" will request the Petals ESB "Shared Area" for the right endpoint according to the information in the message (interface name and/or service name and/or endpoint name).

Data stored in the area are:

  • endpoint name,
  • service name,
  • interface name,
  • topology.
The implementation of Petals ESB "Shared Area" must be the same for all nodes of a domain.
