TIBCO Rendezvous


TIBCO Rendezvous is a software product that provides a message bus for enterprise application integration.

Details

provides messaging APIs in C, C++, Java, Visual BASIC, Perl and.NET to provide messaging between two or more services.
The basic message passing is conceptually simple:
Considerable "Enterprise" functionality is layered onto this if desired with Fault Tolerance/Reliable or Certified options possible, all implemented through the underlying basic messages.
The messages themselves can be viewed as typed name-value fields and/or number-value fields. A message can itself contain sub-messages which themselves may contain sub-messages, and so on.
The quality of the respective API implementations varies considerably. The C++ library is simply a wrapper providing an OO view over the C implementation. Likewise the Java and.NET implementations wrap the C++ implementation. This has led to memory management issues with the.NET implementation.
