Hi Sanjiva,
I sent the email 3 times (I think) - I'm having problems seeing email
from gmail - so it didn't look like it was getting through - so
apologies foe all my luv :)
ServiceMix is an ESB - which just happens to be based around a JBI
Container. Although the market definition is loose and fast for an
ESB, there is growing consensus that ESB's require a business process
engine. If you couple this with JBI being a good container for BPEL -
then ServiceMix seems the obvious place for this donation to go if
accepted.
If you've looked at the proposed donated code, this BPEL engine is
complete, I can't see any sense in combining it with something else ?
cheers,
Rob

Wow what a love fest ;-).
Sorry to be a PITA but can someone explain to me the connection
between
a JBI impl and a BPEL engine?? Why does it make sense for this to
become
a part of ServiceMix? In fact, what's the relationship to Geronimo at
all? Can someone indicate the coupling points?
Also, Geir, what's happening with the other incubating BPEL project
Agila? Why would this not fit better within that project, just as
Twister was made to become part of that?
Sanjiva.

Hi Cory,
just been walking through the code - looks very well put together -
this will really enhance Apache ServiceMix - so I hope will quickly
be accepted!
cheers,

Hi,
The ServiceMix project provides a good JBI platform but its
currently
lacking a service orchestration engine. We have a Business Process
Engine
that we'd like to donate to the ServiceMix project. It handles
orchestration of message exchanges along with support for open
standards like BPEL 1.1 and is easy to integrate into ServiceMix.
You can
review the code here at:
ftp://ftp.sybase.com/pub/incoming/wcss/bpe/bpe-src.tar.gz
The code is currently licensed under a Sybase evaluation license but
we are happy to supply an Apache licensed version assuming the
code is
acceptable to the ServiceMix community. We are also happy to change
the package names to conform to Apache. We would be happy to help
support this aspect of ServiceMix within your community and work
closely with others to improve the engine and take it to the next
level. Would you be interested in accepting an Apache version of
the
message orchestration code?
Cheers,
Cory Harper
