Over on InfoQ there's a great presentation by Mark Richards on the Role of the Enterprise Service Bus. Its highly recommended viewing! It gives an excellent overview of the capabilities required for an ESB without getting sidetracked into the marketing-speak. It also gives a great overview of JBI together with explaining pretty well how Apache ServiceMix and Mule compare. I've added it to the Resources page

Come and meet some fellow ServiceMix users at the Sydney Spring User Group #2 in Sydney Australia. Spaces are limited and you need to RSVP

  • Creating and packaging service units
  • Creating, packaging and deploying service assemblies
  • Automatically deploying a project (and its dependencies to a running Servicemix instance)

Discussion Forums

Before posting you might want to read the Tips For Getting Help. Many users prefer to use online forums rather than joining a mail list which can lead to lots more email traffic so we use these forums which also work with our Mailing Lists so that both stay completely in sync. Note that the forums have a delay (up to a few hours) before displaying new posts, so please don't send your post several times, and be patient. If you prefer an immediate feedback, please use the mailing lists, as they do not have such delays.
