Bad, Bad Journalism

Typically bad dis of JBI 1.0 - quote from an unnamed source: "JBI 1.0 was not ready for prime time; it focused on vendor needs and not the user, and has been a miserable failure." - yeah right. A miserable failure for some vendors.

Some open source JBI 1.0 implementations continue to be the most widely used, standard based esbs on the planet!


BTW - if you want an idea of what JBI 2.0 will probably look like - check out the CAMEL!

What's that coming over the hill ? - Apache Camel!

Apache Camel a sub project of Apache ActiveMQ - is a declarative rules based framework for integration based on enterprise integration patterns - or EIP. Camel is designed to be very easy to use, and suports generics, automatic type conversion and already has a large number of integration components.

So why Camel ? We saw a real need for an easy to use, easily embedded integration package that is Apache licenced and really complementary to ServiceMix.

Camel version 1 should be ready to ship tomorrow - once James recovers from his hangover ;)
