7. Orchestration - The automated coordination and management of composite applications from a number of software components. A composite application is an application built by combining some number of other services or applications.
8. Transactionality - Reliable end-to-end delivery of messages.

However, the JBI specification does not preclude distributed transacationstransactions.
