ServiceMix is an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) that combines the functionality of a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and an Event Driven Arthitecture (EDA)  to create an agile, enterprise ESB.

ServiceMix is an open source distributed ESB built from the ground up on the  Java Business Integration (JBI) specification JSR 208 and released under the Apache license. The goal of JBI is to allow components and services to be integrated in a vendor independent way, allowing users and vendors to plug and play.

Features

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

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

ServiceMix is completely integrated into Apache Geronimo, which allows deployment of JBI components and services directly into Geronimo. ServiceMix is being JBI certified as part of the Geronimo project.

Other J2EE application servers ServiceMix has been integrated with include JBoss with more to follow.

• Normalized Message Service and Router
