A BPEL engine is integrated within JBI using a JBI component. In such a case, the BPEL engine should only communicate with the JBI bus (excluding direct http calls or whatever else). The JBI container is really a container which communicates with a component using a set of specified interfaces, bu

Actually I'm a bit surprised by the proposal of making the BPEL engine part of ServiceMix as well. ESBs and orchestration engines work pretty well with each other, that's agreed, but so do Tomcat and Struts. I'm working on Agila BPEL and I agree that the Agila community isn't the most active aroun

James I'm sure you want a single strong community around JBI. But a BPEL is a specification that is completely independent of JBI and indeed of Java. If you make the argument that everything that can be potentially used as a JBI component is part of ServiceMix then you pretty much include every pa
