Why ServiceMix?

There are many vendors that provide ESB solutions, but there is no universal agreement as to the best design or architecture for an ESB. ServiceMix has a design that is based on the JBI (JSR 208) specification in order to create a standards based ESB and the ServiceMix ESB combines the functionality of both a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Event Driven Architecture (EDA) to achieve an agile, enterprise ESB.

...

ServiceMix is lightweight and easily embeddable, has integrated Spring support and can be run at the edge of the network (inside a client or server), as a standalone ESB provider or as a service within another ESB. You can use ServiceMix in Java SE or a Java EE application server.

ServiceMix uses ActiveMQ to provide remoting, clustering, reliability and distributed failover.
