Great, so let me make sure I fully understand what we want here : -We want a setup similar to the jsr181 SE -The EJB will be a provider endpoint. -Users will drop they EJB and servicemix will load them up via OpenEBJ -The marshaling and unmarshaling of messages between the bus and the ejb provider endpoint would be done with the help of the CXF framework -The exposed interface will be a WSDL (web service interface) ? -The consumer endpoint would/could be an http consumer endpoint ..

Not sure if we are thinking about the same thing. I was thinking about embedding the EJB engine within a SE so that you can deploy annotated POJOs (EJB3) and leverage the EJB3 features (transactions, security, CMP, injection, etc...). For these POJOs to be invoked from the JBI bus, you need to marshall / unmarshall the xml messages to POJOs invocations and the reverse. This is what is actually done in jsr181 SE (or the CXF SE), but these do not leverage EJB features, so I was just thinking about embedding OpenEJB inside CXF and write the same kind of integration you would have inside a JEE5 app server for EJB3 / web services. One should be able to combine WS and EJB3 annotations to create a stateless EJB that could be exposed as a service on the JBI bus, and from this POJO, you could also use the CMP stuff to provide database access. If you do not put any annotations, it should behave the same way as before in jsr181 or CXF-SE. So in my mind, OpenEJB is only used when the component is acting as a provider. Using CXF seeems a good idea for the marshalling / ws stuff for the following reasons: * this is the next version of xfire (there is no more development in xfire) * the OpenEJB / CXF integration has already been done in Geronimo 2.0somehow (no idea how reusable it is) Makes sense ?
