Highway: A domain specific language for enterprise application integration

Abstract

Highway is a domain-specific language for implementing enterprise application integration solutions in a technology independent and functional manner. As an internal DSL developed on top of Clojure programming language, Highway uses functional programming techniques in order to simplify enterprise application integration development. In this paper we focus on abstractions and language constructs that define Highway's approach to integration. We also cover implementation of enterprise integration patterns using Highway since they represent various common situations in enterprise application integration development.
