EasyESB is a lightweight services bus. Unlike [PetalsDSB|petalsdsb:PetalsDSB Overview] is not really integration oriented but more oriented on advanced SOA notions. It is based on MDA (Model Driven Architecture) approaches.

The figure below presents an academical example of SOA application (the travel agency process) deployed and run on four EasyESB nodes.
The explanation of this usecase can be found in [EasiestDemo Gallery|easiestdemo:Travel Agency].

EasyESB is composed of several modules and under modules:
* [*exchange data model*|Exchange data model]:
** _+exchange10-api+_ : provides XSD schema to modelize an exchange
** _+exchange10-impl+_ : implementation of exchange models
* [*transporter service model*|Transporter service model] :
** _+ws-binding-transporter+_ : proposes a WSDL description providing the basic operation of transporter based on exchange data model.
** _+transporter-api+_ : wraps the preceding WSDL description into a JAVA API.
** _+transporter-soap-impl+_ : proposes an implementation of a transporter based on SOAP protocol.
* [*soa data and service model*|Soa data and service model]:
** _+soa10-api+_ : provides XSD schema to modelize the basics concepts of SOA and ESB paradigm such as endpoint, service, node, registry, components, listeners, senders... etc.
** _+soa10-impl+_ : implements these basics concepts from soa model
** _+ws-binding-soa+_ : provides WSDL description of basic operations that must offered endpoint, node and registry concept.
** _+soa-core-api+_ : wraps the preceding WSDL description into a JAVA API.

** _+technical-service-registry-impl+_ : proposes a implementation by default of the registry described in soa-core-api module.
** _+ws-binding-admin+_ : proposes a WSDL description providing the basic operation of administration service of an ESB.
** _+technical-service-admin-api+_ : wraps the preceding WSDL description into a JAVA API.
** _+technical-service-admin-impl+_ : proposes a implementation by default of the administration technical service.
** _+ws-binding-admin-client+_ : this module contains just a tool to invoke administration service of a Node in a Junit Test or anothers java programs.
* [*distribution model*|Distribution model] :
** _+esb-launcher+_: proposes basic commands to start or stop a node in script shell or bat.
** _+esb-distribution+_: proposes the standard distribution containing the default administration and registry services, the listener and sender SOAP and the BPEL component.
